Gone but Not Forgotten. RIP - they leave a legacy of their quit journeys behind as road maps for future members, to prevent the pitfalls, provide the tools and show the hope and possibilities for success at overcoming this addiction at any age at any stage. I quit after nearly dying from trying to smoke. I started when I was 14, I quit while I was pregnant and then when I had my spine fused with a cage. They wouldn't do the surgery unless I quit. I did for almost two years and then on that wrong day, I reached for a puff. Guess what? it has been almost 10 years since then. This last mess I went through, scared me enought to stop and I want to stay that way. I am in my early 50's, have 5 kids and 6 grands that I want to be around for. I love to cook and I was a professional cook. . I have COPD, pleurosy, asthma, chronic sinusitis,reflux, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and God knows what else, from guess what? Smoking right. I made up my mind no matter what I'm through with my abusive ex, Mr. Smoke, he always was a liar and he has no power over me now..... I also realized that I did not create me and I do not have the right to destroy what I did not create. I think you could say I was stubborn about my smoking, nothing anyone said would make me stop. I used every junkie lie in the book, but here is the reality of my life everyday , not what I wanted for my life, how about you?
