I'm still smober (smoke-free) after all this time. I don't miss it any more.
In fact, I feel sad when I walk by the outside of a building and smell and see smokers congregated. I wish they could feel how good it is not to smoke...
These days, my weight is in control. I am still under the US standard BMI and weight.
You know what, though? Chocolate turnovers from Arby's are going to be the hardest thing to fight for long-term weight control. Sigh.

Still going strong. Life is good and kind
I'm still smoke free after all this time. I really don't want to smoke or use nicotine in any way.
It helps that I live in an environment that is smoke-free. I have so many reasons for which to live longer. I have a wonderful family... all of them are awesome.
My weight is still under control, although I've gone upwards from my 203 figure to about 208 these days. Dessert is not my friend.
Weight and nicotine: same H*ll, different devil.
At the moment, and for the forseeable future, neither of them owns any piece of me!

Still kickin'!
It's been more than five years since I quit smoking and more than two years since I started getting serious about my diet...
I'm the healthiest and happiest I've been in decades. My heart works great, my weight is below the "requirement" set forth by the US government standards, my sleep is great.
I get more than 6 hours of sleep every day, more often I get 7 or eight. This is incredibly unusual for me: I haven't slept this well for 30 years.
My pain level is managed consistently. I have better strength in my spine because I handle my pain and I sleep better. The walking I do helps a lot, too.
Here I am at 206 lbs, completely nicotine-free, and I'm glad to get up every day.
Life is good.

Listen to a real MD. Think for yourself
Of late, I've seen and heard people actually say/write that nicotine is not addictive and that it is only a matter of "no willpower" that anyone smokes or over-eats.
There are tens of millions who live a life that indicates that the "no willpower" attitude is wrong.
Think for yourself. Find a good and kind medical doctor or professional practitioner and listen. Think for yourself.
Remember that people are human, and they're sometimes wrong. But, in general, your doctor is a good adviser and does care about your long-term prospects.
Be well. Be real. Be kind. Be kind to yourself.
