I believe in positive thinking, I wake up thankful for another day to be alive and be able to get around even if some mornings are harder than others ,there's so many people so much worse off . I am blessed to have a roof over my head, food in the cupboards, fridge and freezer lots of wood on the property to cut a few cord for the winter, my husband has a job maybe it doesn't pay the best but at least he has a job so I think life is good, especially since I wised up and took back my life from the clutches of the nicotine poison, life is way, way too short to knowingly screw up a perfectly beautiful quit to suck on a killer cigarette, so please remember to protect your quits always remain vigilant while going about your day. I rarely ever think about smoking and when I do it's like yay whew luckily I wised up and don't do that anymore, quitting smoking is absolutely doable and absolutely worth it to be FREE, my life, your life all of our lives depends on quitting smoking and remaining quit because cancer, copd or another smoking related illness doesn't pick and choose who's body it attacks, I finally realized that I wasn't invincible and if I want any quality of living then I better stop playing Russian Roulette with my life which with the help of everyone in this community here I am with 775 splendiferous smoke free days and continuing on because my friends and fellow Exers there's definitely life after cigarettes and it's super fantastic, if you are struggling look for the light at the end of the tunnel, even if it's just a dim Flicker keep heading for it because you can and will get through to the other side smiling because each day you get through is another day WON!

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....
