This has been a very long Winter BUT at the same time it's zooming right along which makes me EXtremely happy that 1,677 glorious days ago was day ONE of my precious quit journey with all of the reading that I did here prior to my first day plus setting up my quit date and then resetting it  because I wasn't quite ready so I read more and got my mindset to where I knew that I was going to be successful so I turned my Day ONE into DAY WON and continued to plow through the roller coaster ups and downs of withdrawals and moodswings and lack of sleep BELIEVE ME when I say those first several weeks of my quit wasn't easy by any stretch of the imagination for instance we had a very good friend die of cancer at the wake were several people we knew standing outside smoking I was holding my hubby's hand so tight it was like I was having an outer body EXperience to join those people BUT - N.O.P.E - Not One Puff Ever & Vigilance was giving me a life of Freedom because I knew from all of the reading that I was going to make it through no matter how difficult it was and so can YOU.  Our quits are firmly in our grasp and it's up to us to nurture and protect the best gift that any of us will ever give ourselves which is the Gift of LIFE and our lives deserves for us to look after ourselves because if we don't nobody else can do it for us, WOW I'm remembering around my 30 day mark which I blogged about my younger sister calling and stressing me out so bad that I  hung up on her and threw my phone across the room luckily I didn't break it, WOW I wanted a smoke so bad I felt like tearing my hair out or ripping someone's face off anyone's face it really didn't matter who's face it was BUT instead I came here for HELP because I knew there'd be someone here which there was please remember that for yourselves blog HELP and someone or many of us will be to help you in any way we can so keep moving forward you will get to that point where you realize how much better life is as an EXer then you'll never ever want to go back to Day ONE again BUT Each and every Day WON Rocks......

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....
