Getting there

Slowly but surely I am start to get a few days behind that have been smoke free. I have to say that my lungs are still clearing themselves out. I would have thought by now that would be over by now. Little do I know? I can however say that my breathing is relaxed and unobstructed and that is good. I have been working during the week and not posting as much as I was initially.

I do know that the longest I have quit in my adult life is 8 months and that is the long-term goal. The short-term goal is 3 months, which is just around the corner. With winter coming I'll be doing myself a favor by not smoking. I won't have to go outside when the cold Canadian air starts blowing and my circulation will continue to improve.

My last observation for this evening is I was in traffic on my way to golf and the woman in front of me was smoking. I noticed that she did as I had before and I have seen others do. She put the cigarette out the window to burn when at the light so as to not get too much smoke in the car. The whole thing looked awkward as I imagined I had before.
