I have so much energy now.....

I think I'll take my dog for a walk!! I'm sure he'll like it.
 
 
C'mon Darth, let's go boy!!!
 
Seriously though, I really do have a lot more energy all of a sudden. I feel like climbing a mountain or two. I guess muscles that have a complete oxygen supply work a lot better than those that don't.
 
I talked about my back surgery in another post, I was smoking then. I didn't smoke for three days after the operation, I couldn't leave the floor so I couldn't get outside. When I finally did have that smoke, I got dizzy and believe it or not, it made my back feel achy, right where they worked on me. I mentioned it to the doc and he did say it was the drop in oxygen in my blood that caused that feeling and he strongly suggested I quit.
 
The effects of a cigarette are both immediate and long term. I don't want to forget that. I like this new energy level a lot and I don't want to go back to the old way again.
 
I'm at day 25 and I feel good!
 
How is everyone else doing today?

Newbie here

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
 
HAPPY QUIT DAY!!!!!!!!
 
Quitting is not easy - but it is doable. Hang in there through the tough times. Take 10 really deep breaths and let them out really slow. Seems to mimick smoking and trigger some relief in me..... Fight the craves and stay close to the SSC boards.
 
We are all here for you and we all want you to make it!!!!!
 
Good luck!!!
