Life without the patch (Day 153)

Day 153 - So it has been a bit since my last post but that is how it has to be.  The more you want to quit smoking, the more you need to distance yourself from the thought of smoking.  I have seen lately more and more ads for e-cigarettes and I want to tell everyone wanting to quit smoking, don't use an e-cigarette.  An e-cigarette is just an alternative to smoking a real cigarette.  The only difference is one is lit and one is not.  They both feed your system with nicotine, which is the drug that you are trying to get away from when you quit smoking.  I will tell you that I quit smoking using the patch and it was the best thing ever, the patch for me really worked and now a little over 5 months I still have not touched a cigarette.  I feel so much healthier.  I just got over pneumonia and I could not imagine how bad it would have been if I was still  smoker.  Trust in me, a 25 year smoker, it is never to late or to early to quit smoking, your health will improve, you will smell better, people will enjoy hanging out with you.

I would wish anyone quitting the best of luck, I know how hard it is but you can do it.
