I am free!  I got rid of the rest of my pack of cigarettes, and I have quit smoking!  I have plans to keep busy this week.  A friend from church lives out in the country and has many rescue dogs on her property.  She says I can come out and play with the dogs anytime, so I am going to do that.  I also have book club at church tonight.  I have another friend that has recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer's.  She can't drive anymore, and she is lonely and bored.  I am going to take her out to lunch this week.  She quit smoking years ago, and she rightly told me last Sunday that I was just using Fred's passing as an excuse to smoke. She was very no-nonsense with me.  I really appreciate her support of my quitting!  Plus, I have my tutoring to look forward to.  And I will spend more time at quitsmokingonline and whyquit.com.  I will exercise everyday because it makes me feel good.  I have decided that if I need to, I will chew a piece of nicotine gum, but I WILL NOT SMOKE!  Tomorrow, I will hop on the Freedom Train and celebrate my rediscovered freedom.  Thanks to all my EX friends for your support and advice!
