I learned - N.O.P.E  - Not One Puff Ever - right here on this site and had to ask what it meant and I lived by it every day and I always will because it works along with N.E.F  - Never Ever Forget  - the early days and wks of quitting smoking because another Day ONE would really suck big time but another DAY WON really rocks and if you really stop to think about it - S.I.N.A.O  - Smoking is not an option - and if we take EXtra good care of ourselves by  - H.A.L.T.  - Hunger, Anger, lonely, tired  - should help get you through the rough patches a little easier. Quitting smoking is definitely difficult to say the least but boy oh boy it's absolutely Doable and so very worth it to be able to go anywhere, anytime, whenever, wherever and however without the crutch of smoking, I may be a broken record when it comes to quitting smoking but I want everyone to hang on tight and keep moving forward and stacking up those precious smoke free and to be FREE and reap all of the wonderful benefits of being an Exer but you must go through whatever cravings and whatever else first but you can and will be successful one precious smoke free day at a time.   quitting Smoking can be hair pulling at times but it won't kill you but continuing to smoke could, chin up and hang on tight to the best gift that any of us will ever give ourselves which is the gift of LIFE!

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....
