I know that I must sound like a broken record for pushing N.O.P.E and vigilance but I know through my own EXperience of relapsing several times either through 1 to many drinks or because of weight gain or thinking that just 1 is OK which was bull but the bottom line was a couple of decades ago when I was playing Russian Roulette with quitting smoking that I was only half heartedly ready otherwise I'd be like in my 23rd of year of being smokefree but this quit was & is my Forever Quit because I realized by finding out that I have mild copd that I'm not invincible that I could actually die a slow painful death which would most likely be smoking related and the nicotine poison doesn't care what life it's going to choose to give cancer too or stick on oxygen 7/ 24 so I finally bit the bullet and took back my life while I still was able to and now I push vigilance just as much for me as for all of you so please let's always protect the best gift that any of us will ever give ourselves which is the gift of LIFE because S.I.N.A.O - Smoking Is Not An Option - our health, family and friends are counting on us remaining quit and it's absolutely Doable and and definitely worth it.  if you're reading this and haven't quit yet now is the time to do so educate yourself by reading everything you can about quitting smoking and Remaining Quit because there's a wealth of information to strengthen your resolve to kick the nicotine poison to the curb and if you are struggling be sure to blog HELP so we can help you through the rough patches so chin up and hang on tight and continue stacking up those precious Days WON.....Oops before I forget It will be late afternoon before I get on line tomorrow, I'm spending the night at my Dad's so I can pamper him tomorrow on his 81st birthday so have a great day, smokefree of course because life happens whether we smoke or not so let's always choose NOT.....

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....
