After decades of smoking it only stands to reason that it's bound to take time to feel comfortable in your own skin again BUT you will and it's so worth it once you reach that glorious AHA Moment where you realize how much better life is as an EX Smoker Non Smoker or EXer it doesn't matter what you call it because you'll just be glad that you stuck with your precious quit journey.
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....
