1) I have come back to my senses and am getting healthier everyday!

2) da man is not getting any of my money for nicotine nor for pharmaceutical nicotine! Take that Big Tabacco!

3) I have started a stop smoking brick and mortar group to give back for all I got the Magnificent Day on December 14th at 12: 15 in the afternoon when I had my last 1/2 Cigarette and NEVER ANOTHER PUFF Now OR EVER!

I don't know if I am in the right place or not--Can I VENT?????  I am 57 years old and 7 years I had to give up teaching, I LOVED my job!!!,because I had R.A. so bad.  The pain and fatigue were really interfering with the quality of my work.  Ten months after my last day of work I found out I have Large Granular Lymphoctic Leukemia from taking Enbrel (for arthritis!!)  Four years later I learn I have COPD. ( Fibromyalgia snuck in there somewhere!!)

In August of 2007, my oldest son's 2 daughters came to live with us.  They were 7 and 9.  We had just started some building on--adding a room.  In Feb. of 2008 my daughters husband abandoned her and 2 kids after 9 years of marraige.  Exactly one year earlier, she had had her third heart attack..   Since she has been here she has had a host of medical problems and my health is going down hil steadily.  ( I doubt it could be stress, ya' think). 

In 2007, we lost our 3 month old grandson fo SIDs and in 2009 my husband lost his dad.

Our lives are crazy-insane like this ALL of the time.  I HAVE to quit smoking.  I am killing myself one puff at a time.  I have tried to quit many, many times and it is excruciating!!!  Please, if you have ANY helpful thoughts, I'd love to hear them!

da' da' da' dats all folks!!!!

1)  I can breathe SO much better

2) No more going outside in the freezing cold to smoke

3) Being able to sit through a nice casual dinner, and not have to hurry  up and finish so I can go smoke

There are SO many more to list, but these are my big  three!
