Hi , I've given up now for 61 days best I've ever done. The reason for giving up is obviously for health reasons, December 23rd 2021 I had a heart attack at age 52, then unfortunately I had open heart surgery in January 2022 due to major blockages. When I started feeling better stupid me took it back up . This time it felt different and I was ready to give up, it's been 61 days cold Turkey and I'm not craving or even missing it , I feel great

    That's awesome Kim. We just have to remember that we are losing nothing and gaining everything! It is too bad that many have to experience near catastrophe to make the change. Sadder is that many don't get second chances.

    In every cloud is a silver lining. Think positive.

    Hello Kym,

    I was just reading your story for my own inspiration. I am on day one of quitting. I’m so happy that you made the right decision for yourself and your health. It must feel amazing to be clean and healthy again.

    All the best to you,
    Pozz
