Hi Matt
It is exactly one month today that I quit smoking, for the third time!!
I quit for all the reasons already mentioned as well as a number of my own. Sadly, I didn't quit because I actually *wanted* to. It was more a question of *having* to.
Smoking became utterly inconvenient what with having a non-smoking home and with every single public place prohibiting it anyway. Not to mentioned that I couldn't bear to be seen smoking.
So I enjoy the "freedom" of not smoking - but I would be lying if I said I didn't miss it - or think about it every single day.
After almost a year of not singing - I am at least able to hold my long notes again and I get fewer sores on my tongue. I am sure my lungs still look like an old road!
I know the feeling of "getting out - or away". Smoking was such an outlet!! But not one that is worth it in the end.
Good luck with whatever you decide.
Sabrina
