My Journey to becoming Smoke Free

I’ve been a smoker for nearly 50 years. Or maybe I should say that I have been a patsy for the tobacco companies for nearly 50 years. Cigarettes, when I started smoking at age 14, were 45 cents a pack. Over the years the price kept going up and I was now paying just under $7.00 per pack. 

Last night I smoked my last cigarette and woke up this morning and put on a patch. I’ve had few withdrawals so far and truly believe I Will be a non smoker from this day forward. I will be putting my cigarette money in a jar everyday and when I reach my year anniversary I’m going to treat myself to a return trip to Italy     . 

Today is the first day of taking my life back and I know it’s going to be an awesome and amazing journey.

I'm a lover of life and now as an ex smoker life is just getting better. I love to travel and my soul finds its home each time I visit Italy. I have been with my partner now for nearly 40 years and together we are on the quit journey. Awesome!!! I'm a huge Diana Ross fan; never missed a concert since 1978. Friends call me an opened book and I guess with my many posts here you can see that :) Loving this community and the many friends I'm making along the way. (((HUGS)))
