Good morning Friends!

I love that I have gained all these new friends here on the site!  It's like I have this secret life that really isn't secret

at all.

I just want to take a minute and thank each and every single one of you who are here and offer your support to all who

come here daily!  

I am doing very well in my quit, as you all may know!  I couldn't feel more confident that "I WILL NEVER PICK UP A

CIGARETTE EVER AGAIN" !!!  This quit is very powerful, and I am so in control of it!  I do not care that I have gained

weight, I know that will taper off eventually, especially now that I have joined a gym. 

Yesterday was my 56th birthday along with my  youngest child, who turned 21!  We celebrated last night, and not once

did I ever think about wanting to smoke while we celebrated with food and drinks! 

I had one of the nicest birthday's ever.  From daughter in law and grand daughter visiting me with flowers and a yummy chocolate brownie, to my honey bringing me some beautiful roses, (  Sad that I had left the office at lunch and wasn't there when he came to deliver them), my wonderful boss lady, who bought me Alex & Ani bracelets, because she too is proud of my accomplishment of quitting, then to dinner out with my birthday partner and 2 of my daughters and my honey!  I missed the two oldest being there, but they do have families to care for and children to get off to bed early.

All in all my friends, I am thankful, grateful and just plain happy!!!  Life is good, and will only continue to get better!  And I have to throw a quick spot of religion in here ( I don't really belong to any one religion ) But I have the good Lord on my side, walking along beside me daily !  How can I not be thankful! 

Much love to you all, and I hope you all are doing well, and wish you a fabulous smoke free day!

I'm an active 55 year old woman, who loves hanging with my family. I have 5 children 2 of them married, and 4 grand children. They are all my whole world. UPDATE 8/21/23 Now 61 years and have 2 more grandsons to add to the crew! My hobbies are bike riding, golfing, bowling, kayaking, painting (canvas or rocks) and gardening (getting the hang of it finally) I have smoked since I was 13 yrs old, and quit one time within the last ten years for a total of 9 months. Stress took me back to smoking. My life has been stress free for the last couple of years. Divorced for 2 years now, but back together with my Ex (husband) for a year now. It's time, I'm ready, and I quit! So far it's been pretty easy, so I'm very optimistic about this being my final quit! Thanks in advance for all the support! 2023 - Update: I now have 2 more grandbabies for a total of 6 and still smoke free! They will never get to know me as a smoker!!!!!!
