October 2, 1976....Some of you Exers were not even alive yet on that date. That's so hard to believe because, to me, it seems like it was yesterday. I remember every minute of that beautiful Autumn day. Tomorrow is October 2, 2016 and my husband and I will celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary.

We both agree we don't FEEL old enough to be married for 40 years. We both agree we don't LOOK old enough to be married for 40 years. We both agree we don't  ACT old enough to be married for 40 years. Now, if we can just get somebody else to agree with us!!!

But seriously folks, although we have been doing this for 40 years---- this year we also will both celebrate SEVEN years as non smokers. My husband quit in October of 2009, so he will reach 7 years very soon. I quit in November of 2009, so I am also coming up quickly on 7 years.

Hard to believe anyone makes it to 40 years married these days.

Hard to believe we both made it to seven years of no smoking.

Both of these milestones took determination, dedication, commitment, humor and great love of self and of the other person involved. It was not easy------but it was never impossible.

Marriage----I cannot advise you on.

But quitting smoking???? Don't forgert IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER!

Stay Strong.

I quit smoking in 2009 after years and years of addiction. I just became sick and tired of the whole smoking thing. This site was a lifesaver with the support I received...so as you can see, I hung around to help others. I became friends with many people....some are here now and some are gone. Welcome to anyone who is new....this is EX....we are all here for each other.
