Hi Pell, welcome to SSC. I hope you find this site as helpful as I have :) I too got a tight chest and sore throat but it went away about 8 days into the quit. I have only felt better since then. I'm alot older than you and smoked along time. I had a pretty nasty cough and just felt bad all the time. Short breathed and broncitis. I have way more to gain from not smoking than I ever did from smoking and so do you. I'm only 11 days into this quit and my longest quit before was 31 days. I just know I'm going to make it because I really don't want to be a smoker. Tired of the ball and chain and smelling like an ash tray. I use the board to replace smoking. All the people who have signed in after me get to here my story because I really dont want to smoke and I just type through the crave. You can too!!! I'll keep checking in on you and you just read, read, read, Blue Cloud [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]7/4/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 10 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 200 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $40.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 1 [B]Hrs:[/B] 10 [B]Mins:[/B] 47 [B]Seconds:[/B] 2

Sounds like a plan, pellow..1978, does that mean that you are 29??? Quitting now is an excellent choice. And always remember, smoking is a choice. You can choose NOT to smoke, no matter what. NOW, get your quit meter going so you can see your days add up! new me [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]5/26/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 49 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,176 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $245.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 6 [B]Hrs:[/B] 19 [B]Mins:[/B] 25 [B]Seconds:[/B] 47

Welcome Pellow :) Congrats on your 6 days smoke free ! I too suffered from a tight/heavy chest and a little sore throat. It should pass as the lungs are clearing and they are getting used to more oxygen :) If your symptoms don't go away or get worse you may want to take a quick visit to the doctor just to make sure all is ok. Biking is great ! Stay close to the site.. put up your quit meter and watch the days and the $ saved grow and grow daily :) Do a lot of reading and post often. We're all in this together :) xo [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]7/6/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 8 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 160 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $58.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 22 [B]Mins:[/B] 21 [B]Seconds:[/B] 35
