Still Enjoying Life

It has been some time since I have been on this site.  I am still enjoying my quit which began 1-8-13.  I still have never even puffed on a cigarette since then.  I am enjoying life now without cigarettes and still never have regretted quitting.  I recently retired after 27 years, I now have a grandbaby, Dean, who was born 1-24-17 and I can enjoy all of this without smoking or the horrible health issued associated with smoking.  My sister who quit with me went back to smoking and now has COPD.  A very close friend of mine recently passed away from COPD, and another friend of mine is now battling lung cancer which occurred after many years of smoking.  So far I am doing well and cannot say enough about how great it is without smoking.

That said, please stick with your quit.  It is hard for only a short time and the rewards are the best!  Please listen to those of us who have been there and hopefully you too will be ever so happy.

My quit began in 2013 after 44 years smoking. I retired from Law Enforcement in 2017 after 27 years. Loving my retirement and being smoke free!
