I hope that everyone will have a wonderful Friday the 13th, I am getting out of the house for the day with my Dad. Another snowstorm tommorrow night into Sunday, supposedly only about 6 inches possible but very windy. oh well it's March and the first day of Spring is a wk from today so surely the weather is going to shift soon and give us some Spring before Summer arrives. 243 DOF and counting, I can't believe tommorrow is another milestone 8 months of Freedom from the dreaded nicotine poison ,wow I never thought I could quit but here I am after 40 yrs of smoking it's so doable. In the first few weeks of my quit my moods were all over the place and I was wondering if I might be going out of my mind, I felt like I was crawling out of my skin at times and I literally felt like ripping off anyones face that might have looked at me the wrong way. My grandsons were safe they were the only ones that were safe from my roller coaster moods. Quitting smoking is definitely doable but you must be willing to go through 2 or 3 wks of withdrawal symptoms and cravings. I will never ever let my guard down and I will always remember the difficult journey to get to where I am today so I plan on making sure that I never take my quit for granted because the road to get here is something I will never go through again, I am going to my grave an EX SMOKER.

I'm a proud Gram of 2 grandsons and a granddaughter and I consider myself a jack of all trades and a master of none, plus I enjoy reading and being outside and since quitting smoking breathing is so much easier because I'm not coughing half of my time sucking on a cancer stick....
