Yes, I do have one month smoke fee today! I’m not sure why, but it almost seems too easy. Maybe because I had gradually cut down, or was really ready psychologically? My large family is my reason for doing this. I want as much time with them, as God will give me. None of us knows how much time we have left, but we can improve our odds, in that department, by living a healthier lifestyle. Look at me! I quit smoking, and I am working out daily. I have even managed to shed some weight, which can be a problem with a lot of quitters. I will admit that vanity is why I started working out. I wanted to assure that I would at least look as good as I did, before I quit, after quitting. Not the best motivation, I suppose, but it worked for me. Thanks for the well wishes, and a big thank you to whoever started this group. I know that checking in everyday, and participating, is a big reason for my success, so far. So, one day at a time……. Thanks again, friends! KAT

Good job, Doreen! I got a late start. I spent the morning……uh hum ….um er …celebrating! 😳 So, it was afternoon, before I got out of bed and did my first walk. Luckily, it is rather cool here today, with the high expected to be 73 degrees F. I will do my second walk about an hour after dinner. I am very proud of myself, for not skipping a single workout, since starting, over 3 weeks ago. 40 minutes a day of moderate intensity cardio is actually above the recommended amount by whoever it is that decides these things, in the US.😊

“I've had to adjust heart meds in the past due to fast HR but on advise of my doctor . Do take care of you . “ Thanks, Abby. Because I am an RN, my Doc knows that I know what I am doing, so it’s all good. My heart has a tendency to get tachy, for no apparent reason, at times. So, I always have appropriate meds on hand.

Stress, anxiety, and sadness led to me turning to cigarettes for comfort, after a bad break up. Those 6 years that I had not smoked were great. I got into really good physical shape, was a long distance runner, even won awards for running. I felt happier and healthier than I had in years. I Am aiming at those same goals now, with this quit. I am older now, so it will be harder, but still worth it. It’s never too late to improve yourself.

MLMR, Don’t feel dumb! I had 6 years and lost that quit over a bad romance. How stupid is that!? Then I smoked for another 6 years. Now I have a 1 month quit going, which I hope and believe will be a final quit. You relapsed, but got right back on the quit train. You are a good example of how insidious this addiction is. I admire your honesty and determination to fight this battle. Stick close to us, and never apologize for posting. We all want to hear what you are feeling.

Does anyone know the answer to that question? Isn’t it the brain?

Why do they need souls to meet us?

Is it not a common belief that only humans have souls?

No, I am saying that the doctor accounted for that in both humans and dogs. Is that so hard to believe? Do you think everyone shits and pisses 21 grams at the moment of death?

Did you know he repeated the experiment with a dozen dogs and found there was no weight difference?

I read the entire experiment and he accounted for waste, air leaving the lungs, and any other variables that might account for the weight difference. You believe me, right?

Looks like Mac and I posted simultaneously, so we will just continue. Egg custard

In the experiment performed, did not the original doctor account for Mac’s theory?
