Hello dear friends,
Today is my one year nosmokeaversary!!!! Yippeeee! Thinking back on this day one year ago, I felt much different. I was ending my addiction to nicotine, something I had built into my life as carefully as making time to eat. I made the choice to say NOPE. No excuses. No reasons to question my choice. I made the decision to protect my quit as I do my children, fiercely and without hesitation. I kept reminding myself that nicotine was not my friend, never. It did nothing but take from me. Money, time, self respect, and years off of my life. I made the choice to be my own friend. Doing the right thing is rarely the easy thing. I am so happy I decided to make the right choice and end my addict relationship with nicotine. I know that I can never smoke another puff in my life without giving up my quit. I made a choice to care for this quit and I will never let it go. No matter the pain and struggles, I know nicotine will not make it better or easier. Nicotine will only take from me. So I pledge NOPE. Never again. I spent 15+ years on nicotine, and I will not waste another second on it ever again. Your support, inspiring messages, and tolerance of my whining/complaining helped get me here. Knowing that there were people out there, going through/having gone through the same things who were willing to listen made the difference in my quit. Thank you x 1,000,000,000,000

My family is well. My children are happy to be having cake tonight. When they asked why, I told them how we are celebrating one year of mommy making healthy choices. And the baby in the belly will enjoy it as well, due in june!
