There really is life after Cigarettes and it's the best gift that any of us will ever give ourselves which is the gift of LIFE but in order to EXperience how much better life is without the cancer sticks you must go through all of the roller coaster ups and downs of withdrawals and moodswings and lack of sleep, we all had to go through it and if you ask  me if quitting smoking was easy? I'd have to be honest and say HELL NO! But if you ask me if it's worth it? I'll be saying HELL YES! I definitely had some hair pulling, crying fits, lack of sleep and wanting to rip people's faces off if they happend to look at me the wrong way BUT I was 100 % determined to bite the bullet and stop playing Russian Roulette with my life because I had at least a half dozen failed attempts under my belt and I promised myself that this time I was succeeding, I'd found this site back in June of 2014 and did a lot of reading and set a quit date but I wasn't ready so I reset it then for some reason I totally forgot about this site until I was ready to scream and jump in my car and buy a carton of cigarettes instead of just a pk that was on my 18th day I believe then thankfully I remembered this site and commented on something, up until that point I'd been lurking then someone moody_9-18-13 suggested that I write a blog and say a little about myself and so I did and here I am. I'd like to think that I would've preserved through that horrendous crave but I honestly don't know for sure but I did promise myself the night before quitting that I'd never pick up another cigarette as long as I live and I don't break promises to anyone including myself but I'm just so thankful that I came on line that day because so many of you got me through that horrendous crave and I absolutely am ONE of those Happy Quitters, quitting smoking is a choice and you can choice to quit and start living a life of Freedom if you haven't already....

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....
