Thanks for the wishes ... he's doing okay. It was a planned operation (actually, it was cosmetic since it was not really necessary), but he caught some kind of bug that that causes his tummy to misbehave and he's having problems with keeping the liquid inside of him. So now we're fighting dehydration.

Whoops.

Now, how's our poster-quitter doing?

Pretty good actually. Today I completed my 2nd week of cold turkey.

It was hard as heck the first week and the second week wasnt quite as hard, but it still sucked pretty badly. Week number 3 I am actually starting to feel the benefits. For one thing I don't wheeze when I wake up in the morning anymore.

Breathing rocks.

Terrific! That's great news, happy_terd. May I suggest that you soon try some vigorous aerobic exercise? You may notice that for several months you'll be coughing up stuff and struggling some to breathe but that improves, too, over time. Try a brisk jog or some basketball with friends or something. Just a suggestion.

2nd week of cold turkey? Wasn't Christmas/Thanksgiving (depending on preferences and location) considerably more than two weeks ago.

Congrats. Keep going.

Just a suggestion, but you might, perhaps, want to try breathing *air* instead of rocks....

Awesome Terd!!

It was so cool after I'd quite for a while when you could take a really deep breath and not feel that little tickle in your chest that meant a cough was coming.

Have you noticed things tasting and smelling better? Or, rather that your sense of smell and taste has improved?

I think notice it somewhat. I will really get a chance to test it out after 1 month of having quit. Wife is suppose to put on a sexy outfit and take me out to dinner. I am thinking somewhere in Vegas...

And if that's not a reward, what's the point?

I mean, besides the whole adding-20-years-to-your-life thing.

Just as a heads-up...

I'm at 1 1/2 months and I don't know if it was just the confluence of events over the last week (like surgery and being at home for a week straight) but the urges came back...not strong enough for me to act on them but still, I wasn't impressed.

Just saying from one recently-quit to another, ever-vigilant and all that.

it was probably the enforced idleness. your hands need something to do. like (don't laugh! ) needlework, or one of those big posters you color. says the ex-smoker who blew out her knee 3 weeks after quitting!
