I am sooooooo very thankful that I finally wised up and tossed the yakies ( cigarettes ) away because I can't imagine standing outside freezing my butt off trying to smoke with my teeth chattering and shaking from the cold trying to drink my coffee , wow I can't believe I ever did that and these temps are extremely mild to what's coming but yay for quitting smoking.You may have a 101 reasons why you think you can't quit smoking , I know that I did but the bottom line is that you can quit if you really are willing , determined and totally committed to succeed , there's a wealth of information here to help you strengthen your resolve to quit smoking and remain quit , I quit when I found out that I have mild copd because it scared the crap out of me , I didn't want to end up on oxygen 7 / 24 or even worse die a slow painful death that's most likely smoking related and leave my family especially the grandkids to wonder why I didn't quit smoking before it was too late . life is way too short to knowingly continue to slowly kill yourself stop playing Russian Roulette with your life and bite the bullet because you are sooooooo worth taking back your life and once you get through the roller coaster ups and downs of withdrawals and mood swings to get to that good place in your quit which is definitely going to take some time to relearn life without the crutch of cigarettes but once you do you can start reaping the benefits of an Ex smoker because there's definitely life after cigarettes and Freedom is awesome ! If you live by N.O.P.E - Not One Puff Ever - because S.I.N.A.O - Smoking Is Not An Option - you can and will enjoy a smoke free life and 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....
