When I began my quit  715 days ago.  I was pretty much going down the tubes.  I had been on my couch for a large part of the time smoking cigarettes. In the previous 3 years I had ended a love relationship, lost  4 rental properties to foreclosure and also my own home.  Three months before I quit I lost my job after 10 years.  I had been an LPN for 38 years with a spotless record.  Now what do I do. I had no clue.  By God's grace I put one foot in front of the other.  I did not think I would ever be able to dabble in real estate again.  Last night I was able to refinance my home. It is a duplex.  I rent out the other side. I just cannot believe how I feel today.  My son asked me if I thought I would have lost the properties if I wasn't smoking at the time.  Good question!  I know this.  Even at 68 years old quitting smoking is life changing.  I put in the work and now I am reaping the benefits.  I have had a busy, crazy wonderful life.  I have never felt better emotionally, physically and spiritually than I do at this moment.  May God bless and keep each one of you. Do your work and you can have a much better life than you can imagine.  You will get over cigarettes!!!!!!  It just takes time!
