I just noticed that my elbows are not dried out and flakey like they used to. This may be a good sign for you Tim and has been less than 30 days for me!

Glad you are here. Never heard of it, but sounds awful. If smoking doesn't help with that it certianly will make other things much better. Like breathing, better looking skin, you will smell much better and oh boy the food does taste much better. Stay the course, you will not be sorry.

WOW!!! Sounds like the most excellent reason to quit to me! Remember, N-O-P-E, and look at it this way..... No matter WHAT, you are improving your life, your health, and the health of those loved ones around you! Keep up the good work!

timl, I'm glad you quiting. Even if it doesn't produce a fast cure....think how much worse it could become. Besides.... just because you don't see the bad stuff on the outside doesnt' mean smoking doesn't do bad stuff in the inside. I have often read that if what our lungs look like was exposed we would all quit. LOL Again.... your doing the right thing! Stay close to this sight. Be prepared.... take the quit program tools at the left...and do Lots and lots of research on smoking on the internet. Education is your biggest weapon.

hey tim... I have psoriasis...mostly on my elbows...but occassionally i do have outbreaks on my feet. I've had it for years. Came on when I was in my early 30's. I was told that it was genetic...and stress induced. Quitting smoking has never done anything to change it. I would rather live with flaky elbows and feet...than die with COPD... If the psorisis should someday go away great..if not..oh well..i can deal with that..lol good luck!!!

But hell your in this deep 2 days smoke free might just as well ride this one out too !! What do you say ??? You,ll get lots of support, meet some characters ,have a few laughs and improve your health what more could you ask ??? ;) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/20/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 65 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,170 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $650.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 14 [B]Hrs:[/B] 23 [B]Mins:[/B] 29 [B]Seconds:[/B] 16
