3 months ago today, I decided that after 29 years of smoking a pack of cigarettes per day (my god the money that was wasted lol), I was going to quit and quit for good this time. The first week was pure hell, but it did get easier. This was cold turkey quitting, no gum, no patch, no pill just pure determination. I cannot beleive how much better I feel! Anyway getting to the point of this post , in the past, every single time I would go for my DOT Physical my blood pressure was always right at the max cutoff for the 2 year card. Now keeping in mind that I am a little overweight, my blood pressure today for the physical was 122/79 ! The lowest I can ever remember it being.

You realize you are likely going to live longer so now any extra money you thought you would be enjoying will have to be put into retirement fund. Sort of a double edged sword.
Cheers to your health!
frontrange, Puppage and Shock Therapy Thank this. -
Keep it up! Hardest thing in the world to do is quit smoking...Apparently it is comparable to quitting crack or heroin. I wouldn't know though
frontrange, slim shady, Dave_in_AZ and 1 other person Thank this. -
