Penitent Hits Two years!

19 years ago 0 +0 / -0 1115

Penitent � This gentle Englishman is the definition of inspiration: At 8 months: This post is not for me; it is for all the new quitters here, especially those who are finding it hard. I want you all to know that whatever day you are on in the first 3 months of your quit I have seen that day. Whether it is day 6, 45 or 74, I have been there and coped. Whatever difficulties you are having with cravings, triggers and emotions, please always focus on the fact that they are not insurmountable, they can be overcome and I implore you meet them head on day after day until you reach my happy position of beating this terrible addiction because I know now at 8 months that I have won. It is over and finished, I am a slave to the cigarette no more, it is done! It can be beaten and I am testament to that, please join me. -At 406 days: When I quit smoking in May 2004 I was very unfit and believed that I would remain that way for the rest of my smoke-shortened life. After quitting smoking I felt better just for that fact and then began to exercise, gingerly! A year later, I am walking regularly between 3-6 miles 3 times a week, taking in the gym 3 times a week (cycling/rowing/running/free weights/stomach crunches) and swimming at least twice a week. I am fitter now at 48 than I was as a smoking 23-year-old. I have lean muscle tone and not an ounce of fat on my body. I have added 14 lbs and weigh a healthy 190 lbs for my 6' 2" frame. I look so much better. Life is grand. The moral? I never thought I would ever be in this position but after demonstrating the same will and determination that conquered smoking and allowing time to take its course, here I am. You can be here too, join me? Pen, You have been a guiding light during my quit. Thanks for being there.
