Okay so not to brag or anything...

Lol, I am 100% bragging. I quit smoking about 3 weeks ago. I did have a slip in between. But it was very easy to stop again.

I can't explain what happened. One day I just decided no more and it has been wonderful.

I can taste food and the intensity of flavors. I can better smell.

I no longer have that chronic smokers cough. My skin looks a lot clearer. I actually even have a better sleeping pattern.

I didn't want to remove my smoking status on my profile until I was absolutely certain that I was done with it and well, I believe that I am done.

Something in me just changed and I am so incredibly grateful.

If you are a client of mine and a smoker, you are welcome to come through. I always have mouthwash on hand ;)

It's my turn to be an anal ex smoker ;) I am just teasing.

Anyway, sending everyone much love this weekend.

Good for you young man, I quit 18 years ago and although been tempted a few times, I am still a non-smoker and I don't regret the decision for one minute

This is inspiring. I'm trying to quit currently.

That's excellent Raphael. And interesting to read the benefits of going from a smoker to non-smoker. Never been a smoker myself, but I know a few people who have tried to stop and it's no small feat!

Congrats. Smoking for 45 years now, try to quit a couple of times but to no avail .. just like my punting ;)

Oh well done! It's quite the accomplishment!
Super proud of you!

Ive been smoking for 35 years. Not a quitter so Ill just keep going.

Thank you all for the well wishes.

To @Minime V10.1 I never thought I'd be a quitter. I can't explain it. I just stopped. I didn't even struggle. I didn't cut down or slow down. Something I can't explain overcame me.

giving up smoking is not being a quitter in any way, its actually being a winner in that you value your health and well being

The "not being a quitter" thing is just a private joke when anybody tells me to quit. You did something I couldnt manage doing.....high five Raphael. Go for it!
