Good Morning, EX Community! 

This week I'm on vacation. I'm a Health Care Provider so I'm caring for my health first! I've been taking long hikes, working out and meditating. It feels good and makes me more able to care for others! No matter what our circumstances, it's very important that we take care of ourselves first and that begins by Protecting our Quits! 

Do you remember when you tried to convince yourself that you "liked smoking?" Well, there's an article from the Huffington Post that reports only 12 percent of smokers have never tried to quit. That means that almost everybody who smokes wants what we have! So when the quit gets tough, remember that! And this is EXactly why I take the time every Monday to report the most up-to-date smoking related news - it fortifies my Quititude! Hopefully, it will do the same for you!
