Description

I tried smoking when I was 15. I turned 55 on August 3rd, 2010 so quit smoking as my birthday gift to myself. I was very afraid to quit, afraid to lose my "best friend", didn't know how I would handle stress or how hard it would be, but I was determined. I found this awesome site about 12 days after I quit and am amazed at the support and knowlege here!

12/10 It has been 132 days since I quit smoking. I used nicorette gum to help me since I had been using it in the past when I couldn't smoke for extended periods at work. If I had known how DOABLE quitting was, I would have done it a long time ago. My most pleasant surprise was realizing that smoking caused stress and that I have much less stress now!
