A NEW Distraction

A friend told me about Duolingo - a free learn-a-language site.  You can choose how active you want to be, set goals, and it is arranged almost like a game.  I took five years of Spanish in school, but barely remember, "Como esta usted?" (How are you?).  It's something I can work on whenever I need to take a break, and provides good brain exercise.

Would also work as a great crave buster - and you would actually be learning something while you aren't smoking!

How cool is THAT?

I smoked until a vascular surgeon informed me of the damage I had done to myself by doing so. I quit 11 years ago, and I can swim laps virtually FOREVER now, walk most other days 40 minutes to an hour and a half. What a difference quitting has made in my life! I strive to help others find this wonderful freedom from addiction, too.
