[at-l] Stop Smoking

[John O <johno@mail.monmouth.com>]

If it helps anyone I haven't had a cigarette since June 17th last year. It
does get easier...

Congrats Uncle Milt.
Last February when I caught the flu was the last time I've had a cigarette.
 To this day I get those desires creeping in my head.  They do get less
frequent in time.  The difference was noticed shortly after I started my
hike end of March.  In 2-3 weeks I was doing really well with ups and not
being near as winded.  Yes I was in better shape but putting down the butts
was also a big factor.  The smell of cigarette smoke isn't appealing at all
any more.  I was told years ago that kissing someone who smoked was like
kissing a dirty ashtray.  I have a better sense of taste for foods.  Just
look at the way my waist has grown sine June;)  My sense of smell has been
enhanced quite a bit.  In the woods I'm able to smell things I missed when
I smoked.  I just enjoy life without them today that's all folks.
