You are doing so well Paula! I am so happy for you. Your health will become a non issue in so many ways once you stop!

I stopped about 15 years ago, when my ex had a heart attack and had to stop smoking. I used the patch, and cut down slowly for 3 months. (It wasn't known then that smoking with the patch is harmful). My skin began to react to the patch, and that's when I decided to stop altogether. It was one of the best things I ever did for myself!

Don't worry about weight gain. Weight Watchers or any healthy diet can be very helpful for that. I gradually stopped thinking about smoking, and when I did crave one in the beginning, I would remember how hard it was to smoke, and knew I never would go through that again!

You can do it Paula!

HURRAY PAULA!!!
