Once you get through the roller coaster ups and downs of withdrawals and mood swings to come out the other side smiling which takes time of  course to get to that good place where a light bulb comes on in your head and you have that wow, what took me so long moment?.If I'm remembering correctly I believe it was somewhere between 3 1/2 months and 4 months that I realized that I was actually a Happy Quitter and I was going to protect my precious quit with my life because my life literally needs me to remain nicotine free. It took me 40 yrs of slavery to the disgusting Cancer Sticks and finding out that I have mild copd to realize that I'm not invincible that I could end up on oxygen 7/ 24 or worse die a slow painful death that's most likely smoking related and now I'll have 3 glorious yrs of Freedom the middle of July, stick close to this site and read everything you can about quitting smoking and Remaining Quit because there's a wealth of information here to strengthen your resolve to Kick the Nicotine Poison to the Curb, when I found this awesome site l read blogs, comments and pages on people's profiles and hid in the Shadows for quite awhile but when I finally commented and let myself be known you were all here to welcome me and get me through the rough patches and come out the other side a very Happy Ex Smoker with hopefully many more years of enjoying a much better quality of living.

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....
