An Old Blog of mine for all the New Folks here on EX...

I am seeing a lot of new people joining us here on EX.  I love it! 

In these newly-arrived folks, I see determination, I see positivity, I see dedication, I see energy! 

I also see worry, fear, hope, anxiety.  This is ALL very normal. 

I am printing a link to an old blog of mine.  I'm hoping it will help our Newbies see that it doesn't take extraordinary strength to successfully quit cigarettes forever. 

It only takes three things: 

1) The DECISION to quit smoking

2)  The COMMITMENT to that decision

3)  HONORING that commitment every single moment of every single day

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
