Nothing to reclaim; Because I have giving up nothing except smoking. The rest of my life is going the same. Or at least that's my plan, and I'm sticking with it, regardless. Triggers? my foot. The'll just have to change, to go along without Mr Nico. I know it's too early for me to declare victory;I am only two days in this, after thirty some years of over pack a day. Well, they were very very tough two days. Neverless, I insisted on carrying on with my life without a single change, except for the smoking cessation that is. What stopped me from attempting to quit smoking all these years, is the thought that to quit I need to change my whole life, and this is a change from the life I know to an unknown life, was a scary and a big undertaking thing to me. I am only quitting now, because finally I thought, I do not have to quit my life style, but just quit smoking. You figure, It could be done. Let's see.

I have reclaimed my waistline. There is still a little more to grab back and a few more laps in the pool and some more water and soon the bike comes out. I will actuall have my old well younger waist back. Chicken I have been ROTFLOL since this afternoon. I think I have been getting way to much oxygen.

I have reclaimed my natural colour, (No not my hair, it really is grey) the colour of my skin is not so grey, so sallow, I am turning pink, I look like I actually have oxygen feeding my system. The bags under my eyes have changed, are less pronounced and are just less UGLY. I have reclaimed my ability to breath, with ease.

[font=Comic Sans MS][color=Blue] I have reclaimed my ability to move around without fear of overdoing it and having to stop and catch my breath. I have reclaimed my nice clean house.. fresh and clear of smoke.. I have reclaimed my sanity and have reduced my fear of dieing some horrible smoke related death. It may sound funny but, I feel like I have reclaimed my dignity as an intelligent person who isn't purposely killing herself. Christine NICE THREAD !!!
