So grateful to be my age and after 63 yrs. of smoking especially grateful to still be as healthy as I am today. Most of all I am thrilled to not think of myself as a "loser" anymore.  Yes I was ashamed to being a smoker and did everything I could not to be seen or smelly. Sneaking and using cologne and hand wipes always on hand and especially the first person to want to go home and not enjoy the function.  It seemed like I was the only "stupid" person wherever I would go.  NO ONE ELSE WAS SMOKING!  Yup - it is Freeing to be smoke FREE. Another BONUS is having EX family here anytime I wanted to chat and making new friends.
