Oh no doubt about it!

And now that I think about it - I suppose I do have an "unofficial" resolution that I made at that time and have held onto ever since: to evolve into a better me --- Some days are better than others but there is continual progress being made imo LOL

I quit smoking on August 26th when I suffered a massive heart attack. When the paramedics arrived the first thing I told them was "I think I just quit smoking." They took me into emergency and that was the last thing I really remember for almost 2 weeks. I was in an induced coma for 11 days and it took me a few days after that to get my bearings as they brought me out. As they were aware I was a smoker, they put me on the nicotine patch while I was under and I have not had a cigarette since. I do get the urge to light up when watching television shows like True Detective now and then, but it passes pretty quickly.

So if you want a close to foolproof method to quit, or to lose weight - I dropped almost 60 LBS during the time I was in hospital, there's one for you! I really would not recommend it, however, because the side effects can be a real killer!

I am now gaining weight since I quit smoking... I went from 192 lbs. dec. 6 to 202.5 lbs today.

My better half just said to me while looking at my growing belly and said, "So, that's what I looked like at 8 months pregnant."
