Whoops I didn't mean to publish it, I left in a hurry and thought I clicked draft.  Yes it is goodbye triple digits!  Sorry your stuck with me not going anywhere hehe.  This was what I meant to post was:

GOODBYE TRIPLE DIGITS

Wow I can't believe it is already 1000 days  without a single stinking puff off a nasty cigarette whatsoever!   In my smoking days when I kept thinking about quitting I wish I could have foreseen the future and what life without a cigarette in hand has to offer, maybe I would have quit smoking sooner.  I  really love life as an EX!  Yeah it was a struggle in the beginning but the end of 1,000 days life is good. .  The greatest thing about being an EX is I don't have to answer to the beck and call of the Nico Dude.  I can do whatever I like and don't have to worry about a fix or how I smell.  I now can exercise without gasping for air, spend time with family without feeling like I miss out on things, spending weekends in smoke free places, which I would not do as a smoker.  I am a work in progress but even my self esteem and confidence has increased.  So had I could have seen in the future at how much I enjoy life without smoking I would have quit earlier. To all the newbies:  Stick with your commitment, remember SINAO (smoking is not an option) NOPE (not one puff ever) will get you to FREEDOM!  It really does get better, just be patient with yourselves.  YOU CAN do whatever you set your mind to.

Today was a great day not only spending the day with my sister and volunteering to help special needs to make dog biscuits for them to earn money for their outings but I also had a Doctor appointment and was finally discharged from the surgeon.  What great timing to end the crazy hand journey and start new beginnings with the 2,000's chapter.

I can't say thank you enough for all the love and support you all have shown me.  I really know without a doubt I would have not made this final quit journey without all of you showing me the way. Thank you with all my heart.

Hi! My name is Sharon and I am married, a mom to 5 kids and also have 2 fur babies that are both shelties and considered my kids. I have smoked for about 30 years. I came here to learn how to quit and stay quit. I need to quit to impove my health and was tired of nicotine controlling me and Doctors and family nagging me. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. Now that I have joined in the EX family I now have been free of nicotine since May 13th 2016.
