It's Friday!!!
1 month, 1 week, 6 days and 15 hours since my last smoke!!

Pulse down from 80 to 68

I don't think I'm going to renew for a third month. I'm going to stretch out the rest of the 2nd month by taking a week at .5 mg x 2 and then another week of .5 mg x 1.
I just don't even think about smoking now, and I want to keep it that way.

I have been smoke free 379 days and proud of it
I'm quit over 3 years and I hardly ever think about it. In fact....it feels like a lifetime ago since I smoked. I don't miss it one bit!
Have a good evening!!
