Share your quitting journey

Don't Just Listen to ME!

I keep folks' words who have lost their quits because of drinking, and like to share them with the community from time to time as cautionary tales:  Here's one from my collection  (and there are many):

"I was going through a stressful time and I was drinking with a buddy and bummed a few cigarettes and the next day I bought a pack. I went on smoking for 33 years."

Please be warned.  Don't let it be YOU I'm quoting sometime in the future! 

A quit is a terrible thing to lose.

I smoked until a vascular surgeon informed me of the damage I had done to myself by doing so. I quit 11 years ago, and I can swim laps virtually FOREVER now, walk most other days 40 minutes to an hour and a half. What a difference quitting has made in my life! I strive to help others find this wonderful freedom from addiction, too.
