Ending my MIA

I missed every one of you and appreciated every message sent during these past 2 Months. Now I am back and much better! Still smoke free and breathing better than I have in a long time. I changed up all of my meds and changed pulmonologists as well as speech therapy. My vocal cords were burnt with acid reflux. That is just part of a very challenging time in my life going back to July. But I never gave up!

Sometimes you really get challenged and you have to give it your all to get through. Quitting Smoking is one of those times. When you make the unbreakable decision that smoking is not an option things actually become much easier. My perspective changed and the questions in my mind changed from "to smoke or not to smoke" to "since smoking is not an option, what do I do instead?" 

We all have different answers to that question so take what works for you, make it your own, and leave the rest. There are literally dozens of answers to be found in these blogs. Try Best of EX if you don't know where to start. READ READ READ! When some person resonates with you go through their early blogs and watch their Quit grow right before you eyes!

We have lots of answers but only you can make them yours and become an EX and my guess, if you listen to what is said you can become a Happy Quitter! How sweet is that?
