Quitting smoking is 100 % positive but in the first two or three weeks , life can be a little rough but we must keep going forward so we can realize how much cigarettes took away from our lives because every waking moment smoking ran our lives. We never had the freedom like we do now to go anywhere, anytime that we want to and not have to worry about where we're going to sneak off to have a smoke. Quitting smoking has given me back my life, I am still learning how much better my life is because I started playing around with the odd cigarette at the age of 13 both my parents smoked they rolled their own with cigarette papers so it was easy for us kids to swipe a little tobacco and a few papers and think we were so grown up and one of the cool kids. By the time I was 14, I was smoking a few each day, by 15 I was a full time smoker for the next 40 yrs, like most of us on this site we have to learn how to live without cigarettes and this definitely takes time so continue counting your days of freedom because life EXcellent, EXemplenary ,EXtra great, EXceptional, I don't know if my spelling is correct or not but let's continue on as EXers because believe it or not there is life after cigarettesand it's EXtrordinary.

Marilyn 487 DOF and counting.

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....
