Another day WON this evening as long as we apply N.O.P.E, isn't that right? - because S.I.N.A.O

I couldn't sleep in past seven this morning, my stupid back has been acting up lately, probably because of the dampness in the air or the three bulging disc's in my lumbar but that's ok because I am sitting here with all of you enjoying a coffee, plus being an Ex Smoker means I don't sit outside in the morning trying to suck on a killer cancer stick trying not to cough and choke or hork up a lung or maybe both while my back is paining and I can barely move but in my crazy addiction I thought I needed my morning cigarettes but no more because I found out that quitting smoking is absolutely doable because my life is worth protecting and being willing to go through whatever cravings and roller coaster ups and downs of mood swings in the first few wks of quitting  wouldn't kill me but continuing to smoke most likely would and dying a slow painful death and after finding out about having copd, I realized that I wasn't invincible so I am a thankful for this site and all of you my friends and fellow Exers. Playing Russian Roulette with our lives is scarey, I am so sad that we are losing some of our Exers to relapsing, especially when their days should have started to get easier but unfortunately they gave up for whatever reason but hopefully they'll be back soon while they can, let's keep moving forward and stacking up those precious smoke free days. N.O.P.E- means Not One Puff Ever - N.E.F - Never Ever Forget the early days and wks of our quits because S.I.N.A.O - Smoking Is Not An Option, there's life after cigarettes so stick with your quit and prove it for yourself!

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....
