2 Amazing Years of Freedom!

Hey all!  I had to stop by and tell you that I am enjoy, and celebrating 2 wonderful years of freedom from smoking !  

I love the freedom, and I never even think about starting back up !   

Why would I, after not smoking, 14,616 cigarettes.  I have saved $3,800.00 plus all the extras I would buy just by going in to the store to get these addictive things.

I have enjoyed getting to know all of the wonderful, supportive people who are long time quitters here at BecomeanEx.org, you are my non smoking family, and I will love and speak of you all forever!  

Please to all of you newbies, and in betweens, and forever quitters, never forget who you are, and who you can be without the addiction of smoking! 

I never thought I would ever know life without the crutch of lighting up!  

Guess what?  I know now that smoking does not make anything better, but only worse.   

Find it in yourself to be a quitter for life.....because not quitting sucks the life right out of you!  

Love to all!   Happy breathing!

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!!!!!!
