It's Father's Day weekend already, I spent the day with my Dad yesterday and took him out for a Father's Day lunch and we decided to have dessert at Dairy Queen, so we each enjoyed a Sunday on a Thursday, ha, ha, I know for some of you Father's Day is bitter sweet because your Dad's aren't here anymore. I lost my Mom four and a half yrs ago and I find Mom's Day hard with lots of memories good and bad but through it all protecting our quits is vital and I know that my mom would be very proud of me and my quit, so my friends and fellow Exers, if you are having a rough time with cravings and urges, keep moving forward and keep your mind as well as your hands occupied and know that you will get through the day , one minute or even one second at a time but you can and will be successful, give your quit your all, how can you fail if you give it everything that you have, you can do this. N.O.P.E - means Not One Puff Ever - because S.I.N.A.O - Smoking Is Not An Option - and if you have been done smoking for awhile - N.E.F - Never Ever Forget the early days of your quit, I know for me I will never ever, ever go back to day one, no way no how but at the end of each day you and I can smile and say YAY ANOTHER DAY WON.  Quitting smoking is difficult to say the least but I really don't want to see anyone suffering from health issues, cancer or having to breathe by an oxygen machine. Quitting smoking won't kill you, it's definitely uncomfortable or downright miserable the first few weeks but it's absolutely worth it, continuing to smoke is basically suicidal. Please quit playing Russian Roulette, it's time to take back your life while you canand live a life without the crutch.

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....
