I am back, and I started smoking again

Last June, there was a major family issue in my back yard, that involved blood, the sheriff and an arrest (not me)... my son's cigarettes were on the swing.. I sat down saw them and picked them up.  It was like I never quit.  I have been smoking since.  It is not something that I am proud of, but it happened, I had a year and a half under my belt, and loved being a non-smoker.

I have retired now, and am working in my yard.  I bought a tiller - if a girl is going to be a farmer, she needs the right tools!  I actually tilled 4 rows for a garden and have planted veggies.  I have weeded flower beds, and planted flowers.  Trimmed bushes  it has been so much fun.  It is actually theraputic for me.

However, I get winded easily, and have to rest.  I haven't tried to mow because I am afraid I can't last long doing that.

It is time to prepare for my quit.  I am almost to the right point in my mind, and I know that this group of folks will support and encourage me... and yes slap my hand when I need.

Always

I am retired from accounting, a grandmother to 13, mother to 4. I quit smoking 3 years ago for 1 1/2 years but started again. I have now quit. I love to play on my laptop, work in my garden, visit friends, and have church activities. I am relatively healthy for an old woman and hope I have many years left to aggravate my children.
