Five weeks and sick!

18 years ago 0 +0 / -0 8

I'll have five weeks tomorrow, but I wanted to share that even being sick is better when you don't smoke! I still feel kinda crappy but my lungs don't hurt so badly, I don't cough as much, my sinus' are draining better. Okay, I'm grossing myself out. Do you remember smoking with a cold? Forcing the smoke past your already sore throat? And I think I'll heal faster, when I got a cold when I smoked the cough lasted a week or two after I felt better. I feel like crap, but not as bad as I could have!!

I had a sinus infection about a month ago. It was the first time in 13 years that I was sick without a nagging, lingering, sputum producin' cough that I kept for the rest of the winter! One more reason not to smoke! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/8/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 59 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 895 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $247.8 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 5 [B]Hrs:[/B] 12 [B]Mins:[/B] 31 [B]Seconds:[/B] 17

Sherry, Not only are you more likely to get over your cold faster but you're also less likely to experience secondary infections. Congrats on five weeks! Danielle _______________________ The SSC Support Team
