Hello Readers!

My name is Tory and I quit smoking February 3, 2010. Follow along as I pen my journey of quitting. I still live with a smoker, and have been told that it is extra tough, but I've made it this far. I am excited to share my journey and angst quitting smoking with you.

Enjoy!

Update - Eight Months

Cigarettes Today (or since my last post): A handful... ugh.
Chantix Side Effects (on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the worst): NONE - I'm done with that after using it for 90 days in the beginning.
Mood: Doing great!  Definitely have had some trouble with smoking after I have a couple of drinks.  But I'm doing fine whilst sober.  I have taken up spin classes and am officially obsessed with the endorphin high!  I do miss cigarettes, but I know it's for the best.  A friend of mine at work (long time smoker) just had a HUGE tumor removed from her throat.  She has since quit smoking.  I pray that she continues to quit.  I also pray that my husband quits someday, too.
Cigarettes NOT Smoked Since Quit Date: 4,979
Time NOT Spent Smoking:  Over 17 days!!  I can tell you I spent most of that time planning a wedding... what on earth shall I do with my time now!  :-)
