Yikes August is zipping right along but that's ok, Mason is busy doing crafts right now so I thought I'd check in with you my friends and fellow Exers. I know that I push vigilance pretty much every day but I also do it myself as well as you because becoming complacent and lazy in our quits could cause a moment of Aaah just one would be ok but YIKES we know that's definitely a lie, I have a sister who quit smoking for 7 years and decided that a couple of cigarettes would be ok and it was 20 some yrs later that she decided to quit but she still isn't actually quit because she told me recently that she has the odd one every so often. I don't see her because she lives in another province, but as Dale and other long time quitters say, IF YOU HAVE QUIT AND ARE STILL SMOKING THEN YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG. I know for a fact that if I was to have just one cigarette that I would be royally screwed, so I live by N.O.P.E. - Not One Puff Ever will give us a beautiful life of freedom from the dreaded nicotine poison because S.I.N.A.O - Smoking Is Not An Option - Vigilance is key along with being willing,determined and totally committed to succeed let's N.E.F- Never Ever Forget the early days and wks of our quits because I never want to go back to day one, I only want to continue to move forward and at the end of each day smile and say YAY ANOTHER DAY WON, quitting smoking is absolutely doable but you must believe in yourself and bite the bullet and quit playing Russian Roulette with your life because your life needs you to quit and remain 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....
