Hello everyone, I haven't posted a blog in a couple of months so just wanted to touch base with everyone.  I just looked at my clock and it has been 419 days since I smoked my last cigarette.  I never believed I would quit and wasn't sure I wanted to.  Once I made the commitment I was to stubborn to give in to the cravings I had.  I see a lot of new quitters here.  Make your commitment, stick to your decision and never give in.  Sounds easy doesn't it? It is, just do it. There is a lot of "Edlders" that will help you through the rough times, JUST ASK.   

I wish everyone a great smoke free evening.

N.O.P.E. forever.

About the Author
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. Mother, grandmother and great grandmother My name is Betty and I was born and raised in Kentucky where tobacco was a way of life. I started smoking full time by age 14. The first time I can remember smoking I was 9. I have been on the road to quitting for several years. I quit once for 6 weeks and then thought I would smoke just one. It only took a few weeks till I was smoking full time again. That is why remembering NOT ONE PUFF EVER is so important. It will never be just one puff or just one cigarette. Nicotine addiction doesn't work like that, it is an addiction, feed it and you become addicted. Here are a couple of links to reading materials that I recommend to ALL who would like to quit smoking: What to Expect in the First Four Months (by Jonescarp aka Dale): http://community.becomeanex.org/pg/blog/read/3713880/what-to-expect-in-the-first-four-months The "Easy Way to Stop Smoking" by Allen Carr.
