Hi, Everyone!  I've been home on the Oregon Coast since we got back from Costa Rica.  Holy Cow, I''ve been off work for a MONTH!  And I've been so busy that I haven't been on EX much during this time.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm at 170 days today!  And I just love those moments when I realize that I'm in a certain place or situation where, in my previous life as a smoker, I'd either be smoking or frantically looking for a place I could light up.  Except NOW, I just smile at the memory and keep walking...because I have a much better life now.

To those of you who are new here, please listen to the quitters who came before you.  Follow their advice and believe the things that they say will help you be successful.  I was able to quit successfully by becoming a STUDENT of the people who had already achieved what I came to EX to achieve.  They know.  And, thank goodness, they share it!

xxxooo,   Sky

About the Author
I'm a 64 year-old flight attendant for a major US airline. Prior to that, I owned an ice cream store and six hot dog carts and put my five kids thru college on hot dog earnings! Prior to THAT, I was Director of International Administration for Domino's Pizza, Inc. I was married to my H.S. sweetheart (dad of my 5 kids) for 17 years. I've been with Jeff for 23 years, but we just finally got married in 2016! Jeff & I live in Cape Meares, OR right on the beach. I'm from Ann Arbor, MI, where many of my kids/relatives still live. My flying base is Washington, DC, where I have a condo that I stay in when I'm between flying trips. My dream is to retire and stay home with Jeff and my two cats, Kenneth & Barbara...not happening soon, though. So I go home whenever I can get a week or more off. I LOVE to meet up with other EXers in the cities where I lay over. I usually blog about what cities I'm laying over in, so let me know if I'm staying near you! I'll buy dinner!! Xxxooo, Sky
