Still kicking it

Hey Y'all!

I'm still here, and I'm still kicking it! Celebrated 3 years smoke free this past 4th of July! Been an exciting year! My oldest daughter was just dropped off at the University of Illinois - Champaign to start her journey in becoming a mechanical engineer! She is also a D1 athlete and will be competing this spring in the discus ring! A bit sad that she isn't at home but that is life. 🚭 No smoking to cope, though in the not so distant past that would've been a go to. Much of the same, how are y'all doing?

Good to see you. What an incredible family!  SO happy you quit  so you will have much more time with them.

I am well, swimming laps most days and walking when it's cool enough.  Life is good for me.

Happy to see it is for you,  too!

This is very inspiring. Covid lockdowns and my youngest getting ready for college triggered me to the point where I gave up a 4 year quit. Before that I had been smoke free for another 5 years. Just dropped the youngest at college leaning on the smokes to control my emotions. Absolutely the worst plan! Everything I'm going to feel in this life change is valid, and trying to numb with cigarettes is a terrible idea. I've set a quit date of Sept 1st. I really want to be happy and healthy for the grandkids I'll have someday.
