Description

This is actually my second wind on becomeanex.org  - in February 2013 I quit for over 6 months before relapsing and realizing I was going to have to start all over again. So, I'm back here to get at it.

I've tried quitting so many times now it's not even that funny. I had basically been smoking since I was 13 (so, approaching 20 years now) and was tired of letting something so stupid and expensive run my life to the extent that it did.

In general, I am a very healthy person. I work out regularly, I eat well most of the time..it just seemed ridiculous to keep subjecting myself to being stinky and ultimately sick.

I know cigarettes don't actually bring anything positive to my life, it was just hard to think of a future that didn't include the habits I had built around them.

But now that I am 33 I am determined to live a healthy, well-balanced life and take more time to enjoy my home, my friends, my 2 cats, my city and a life free of cigarettes.

I quit 9/8/2013!

So, I'm back here to get at it. I've tried quitting so many times now it's not even that funny. I had basically been smoking since I was 13 (so, 25 years now) and was tired of letting something so stupid and expensive run my life to the extent that it did. In general, I am a pretty healthy person. I work out regularly, I eat well most of the time..it just seemed ridiculous to keep subjecting myself to being stinky and ultimately sick.
