Yesterday  was my 61st birthday and a smoke free one at that  my good friends had a potluck get together complete with cake and ice cream. There were a few smokers, but they were told to smoke out in front of the house! The party was  outside in the back yard. I only experienced a few cravings after eating but didn't give in to them! I'm not a big drinker but had to try the Chocolate Vodka.  WOW!!! Tasted just like Hershey's syrup with a kick!  Amazingly, I didn't even crave a smoke!   So happy I made it through my first smoke free birthday  With many more to come!

I'm a retired Business Manager and Make-Up Artist for Estee Lauder Cosmetics. I love living near the beach in beautiful, sunny San Diego, California. I've smoked for 45 years...I remember the first time like it was yesterday. I was in 8th grade...13 years old...a circle of about 6 girls. One of the girls had a cigarette from her brother. We passed it around and I remember coughing but tried it again the 2nd time around. I smoked to be cool when I was in high school. Smoked at parties and the weekends. After I graduated and lived on my own, I smoked a pack a day....everyday until yesterday...6/8/18. I'm here because I want to quit more than anything. I'm 60 years old and pushing my luck! I want to live healthy for 20 more years. I love life!!!
