Dear ALl: After a scary episode with heart palpitations and a ambulance ride, I was in the hospital since yesterday afternoon. Every test came out fine, no heart damage and passed the stress test EKG with flying colors. They do not know what it was exactly, so I'm out! I'm so happy to be home and Strutting my 31 days. My husband and I both have been through a lot in the last month and the last couple 24 hours. BUT WE MADE IT AND IT'S SO WORTH IT! Thank you SO much to you all for being here and sharing your life stories with me help me confirm this is the best thing I have done for my health. You support is a comfortable pillow to fall on. Feeling Good & Showing 31 on the meter!

I'm SO proud to be a part of this group. I tell my husband funny things that everyone here says and does and he also benefits from stories I pass along to him. We both are so happy to have reached the one month mark!! Thank you all for not only making me feel wonderful, but for all of those whom you've helped without knowing. Special people like all of you GIVE so much to others, especially when they are in need of your kindness. I admire your "keepin it real" candid views. You all have phenomenal devotion to this cause and your willingness to continue helping others is SO admirable. Appreciatively, CobenFan (Christine) Happy to Have a Healthy Heart!!!!

Dear CobenFan Wow. I am sorry you had such a scary episode and I am glad it turned out ok! Even though you would think an ambualance ride is enough to make you NOT want to smoke, that wold have been a "trigger" point for me. Great job on keeping it together! Way to go on your 31 day quit! WoooooHoooo! I know you must be proud! Stay Strong girl! I am proud of you.....you are an inspiration to me!

First off�congrats on being 31 days. I�m so proud of you. I am also sorry to hear you went to the hospital. My mother has gone to the hospital for heart problems quite a few times this year. It turns out she has tachycardia. I can sympathize with you about having to spend time in a hospital. Its not fun sitting around being in pain, not being �in the know�, being tested and waiting for results. The good thing is that everything turned out ok and you didn�t smoke :) Take care of yourself and get some rest. Continue to be strong!!

Hey Coben Fan, So happy that every thing is okay with you, I know that you are happy to be home. Strut those 31 days, they are very special and you have worked hard for everyone of them.. I had the same thing happen to me not long ago, it's a very scary place to be. I also went through all the test, but I am going Thursday for a second opinion. I really don't think anything is wrong but my Dr wanted me to go, so I will. Get you a good Coben book and go to bed and relax. Isn't it nice to have a soft pillow to fall on?? You have been and inspiration to all of us and I thank you..

Hi Cobenfan, so glad you are doing well now. What a scary time you've had! I've always been so healthy, just the thoughts of going to hospital makes me feel sick. :) Congrats on your 31 day quit!! You must feel so great about yourself! Can I suggest a good reward is in order? Maybe something a little nicer than a stay in hospital!! :) By the by, I went to the library and put in an order for the book No Second Chance. They called tonight to say it's in. I'll go get it tomorrow, looking forward to reading it. Nothing quite like opening a new book and living new experiences!
