Too much smoke in Washington

And I'm sick of contributing to it.

At this point, I don't even remember when I relapsed but I've got a lot of really important reasons to finally quit again, for good, and the timing is pretty perfect right now. 

I'm setting my quit date for 9-15-18 & talking to a doctor next week to see what my best steps are moving forward, plus I still have Allen Carr's book...And a great support group in EX.

I'll most likely just be lurking and brushing up on my reading for the next few weeks, but "Hi! I'm back!"

This is actually my third 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. And then that happened 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, 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. 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 38 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.
