I slept half decent the last couple of nights so I was awake at 6 thinking about getting a batch of bread on early so I got up at 6 : 30 and with hubbys help we had it in the bowl by 7: 10 and I did it on one coffee . I don't know about any of you my fellow Exers but when I was still smoking almost a yr and a half ago , I would need at least 3 cups of coffee and at least 6 cigarettes before I could even consider doing anything especially a batch of bread but now as long as I get a decent nights sleep, I'm ready to accomplish a task shortly after waking up. I want everyone to embrace your quits and realize my friends there's life after cigarettes and if you stick with it you'll know beyond a shadow of a doubt that staying strong and hanging on tight to your precious quit was and is the best decision you ever made or will ever make again in your lifetime because a few weeks of discomfort and roller coaster ups and downs of mood swings is so worth it once you get to that good place and after a lifetime of smoking it only makes sense that it's going to take some time to relearn different ways of handling situations without smoking but it's sooooooo worth it so stay willing, committed and determined and you can and will be smiling knowing that you are living your beautiful forever quit.

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....
