   I finally did it...I *Quit* smoking 

  It was by accident really. I have been smoke free more than a smoker in the past 3 years but nonetheless I kept relapsing. 

  My new G.P just asked me to *talk* with the Nurse about it which I agreed to and I felt the motivation that had been lacking and by the following week I decided to stop.

  It all happened unexpectadly and fast!

  I am on the 16 Hr Patch along with the new Quick Mist Spray. I am now smoke free 2 weeks. Yes it's tough but I have done it before and give it a couple more weeks I will feel less agitated.

  I read a couple of quotes that hit home about smoking...

  "It didn't seem to make much difference whether I was exercising and eating a healthy diet or not. I knew I was poisoning myself 40 times a day"

  This is the reason *why* I have found it tough to exercise...what was the point?

  And the other one that helped is...

  "At 10 minutes smoking time per cigarette, I used to waste nearly 3 hours every single day smoking! It's no wonder I feel fidgety and empty. I'll take up a hobby and do something productive with the time I used to spend smoking"  

  And boy am I keeping myself busy and I am really appreciating the *extra* time that I have. All I know is I am heading in the right direction, 2 more weeks and the worst will be over
