We are cheering for you Marcel  8)

I decided to quit when my 8 year-old son could out run me (that was in 1988).
I had to quit drinking to do it  :(   ???  but after a year I was able to have a single drink with a meal on special occasions. And they say that's good for you.  :D


Edit to note: That Dang kid can still outrun me! He never did smoke  ;)

Good for you Marcel. I was going to quit smoking until I remembered I never started.

You are on the right track with quitting smoking. I raised that stuff for a long time.  I probably killed a thousand people. :(

Marcel, you certainly have the right mindset.  I quit cold turkey a little more than 20 years ago.  One of my better moves.
As a bonus, your hunting will improve as the beasties won't be smelling that nicotine aroma  ;)

  Ya I know what you mean ... but with the move to the farm , ( after the hunting season  ;)  )  I wont be plowing in the middle of the night no more . All's I'll have to do is my own driveway . And for that I can assure you that the sun should be up and high in the sky by the time I get around to pushing the snow    smiley_sun smiley_thumbsup smiley_smug01

That is sure good news. Always like to hear the success of those who give it a try and make it long enough to realize the experience and enjoy some of the benefits (less coughing and more air). 
If in a crowd, the smokers cough seems to have a real distinctive sound to it.
Proud of ya! :)

Way to Go, Marcel!!!!

This is a real accomplishment. You'll never be sorry. Nor will those around you.

EZ - Happy to get your update.  Have been thinking about you recently and wondering if you were still NTAPing.  Congrats to you too.

Good onya Marcel!!!

Hey, the other thing to remember is, being a non-smoker will make international travel a LOT easier, coz you'll be able to cope with 17 hour flights with no cigarettes!

Sounds the perfect way to reward yourself, think of all the money you save not smoking or drinking and go on HOLIDAYS!

I don't know how I missed this thread the first time around, glad you brought it back to the front page posting your progress.
My dad had about the same thing happen to him back in the late '70's. He didn't want to go to the hospitle either, it almost cost him his life. Dr. said he had to give up cigarettes and change his diet or else. He takes pretty fair care of himself now and it shows.  He gets around pretty well for a fellow going on 70.
Glad to hear that you are doing so well, yourself. Keep at it, and stay away from those DanG cancer sticks. Looking foward to another update.

PS Thank that nephew of yours for all of us.
