Share your quitting journey
About me? I'm 61. I am a flight attendant with United Airlines. And, NO, I do not drag passengers off the plane or swing strollers at their heads. (Current news of 4/17)
I was married to my high school sweetheart for 17 years. We have five children and 5 grandchildren, I have been amicably divorced for 23 years. My ex is a great man and my children are lucky to have him as a father.
I have been in an amazing, supportive, loving relationship with Jeff, since the year I was divorced. Yes, I had the same boyfriend for 22 years! We finally got married on the beach in 2016. We felt married already anyway, but it was still cool.
I am based with United Airlines in Washington DC, and live in a condo in Reston, VA, most of the time. Jeff & I have a small home on the beach in Cape Meares, Oregon,(near Tillamook), where he lives and is the General Manager of a resort hotel in Rockaway Beach, Oregon. I get home to Oregon about once a month for a week or so each time. "Absence makes the heart grow fonder..."
I picked up smoking when I was 16 and quit when I was 30. I quit with the aid of a program called "Smoke Stoppers" which was offered by a local hospital in Ann Arbor, MI, which is my hometown. It was my first attempt to quit and I was successful because I was SO committed to quitting. I quit for 23 YEARS!
My sister came to DC for Obama's first inauguration and she smokes. For SOME unfathomable reason, I took one of her cigarettes and was IMMEDIATELY hooked again. I couldn't let another inauguration roll around and still be smoking! So I quit on September 27, 2012.
Oh, and I LOVE cats. Jeff and I have two cats: Kenneth (Ken) and Barbara (Barbie).
