Physically better - no hacking cough, walking
up stairs now without having to breathe heavy, waking
up in the morning without that stale taste in my mouth. I've also found that I don't get sick as often as I used to and that I handle the allergy seasons much better. On an emotional level, I've reached the point for some time now that I think of my self as a non-smoker...not one who is merely trying to quit.
