Good Morning all! I can't believe nobody has done roll call. I figured I would have to be up by about 2:00AM in order to do this. I'm on day 12. I feel really good. I stopped taking chantix this week and I haven't noticed any major changes. I posted a question in the advice area if anybody has any input on that I would appreciate it. Have a wonderful smoke-free day!!!

Hey everyone, I think I am feeling a little better. I'm (somewhat) proud to say that it has been 44 whole days since I've had a cigarette! Wow, actually having typed that out now, it seems like a really long time!

Hey, and congratulations to all of you - especially those with milestones! 3M1W4D's and counting for me. Today, I can lift my right foot up almost an entire foot further than I have been, and don't seem to be walking nearly as crooked! I have HOPE! Still going for the MRI tomorrow and will know results Tues. Those of you who pray, please remember me, and others, please keep me in your thoughts. I'm hoping for a miracle, but preparing for disaster......
