I am wishing everyone a wonderful day today, life is good especially considering the alternative. If you are having a rough patch with your quit it's going to take some time to relearn life without the crutch of smoking but it's sooooooo very worth it to be free of the slavery of cigarettes. Many of us Exers have smoked for many decades before we wised up and decided to take back our lives while we still could, I smoked for 40 yrs and never thought in a million years that I could quit but finding out that I have copd was enough to scare the crap out of me so I found this site did some reading, picked a quit date but wasn't ready so I reset the date for a week later July 14th / 14 so on the 13th getting ready for bed I promised myself that no matter what I would never pick up another cigarette as long as I live, it wasn't easy by no means there were days that if you looked at me the wrong way I might blat like a baby or maybe I could've ripped off your face or I might want to scream and tear my hair my hair out. In the first few weeks of my quit I didn't have hardly any company because nobody wanted to be around me and most people didn't think I could quit but here I am with 689 precious smoke free days and heading straight for the two year milestone. I got busy in the beginning and forgot about this site after setting up the quit clock and on my 18th day, I didn't know if I would be able to make it through the day without a cigarette but then I remembered this site and figured out how to comment and thankfully someone mentioned that I should write a blog and tell them a little bit about myself so I did and here I am, if I can quit smoking and remain quit so can you, it's time for your forever quit N.O.P.E - NOT One Puff Ever - N.E.F - Never Ever Forget the early weeks of quitting because S.I.N.A.O - Smoking Is Not An Option, smoking kills and quitting can save you a world of pain and suffering caused by the dreaded cancer sticks.

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....
