What a Day!

Just want to say a big "Thank-You!" to everyone who responded to yesterday's blog....Dont know exactly what is was....I knew that I wasn't going to smoke.....but I just had this bad feeling deep in my gut.....it left very quickly, for no real known reason, I guess that I am now officially in NML.

I went to work today as usual and even though I should be working, I do check the blogs on this site a couple times a day.  I was overwhelmed at the response to someone saying that this was her last blog - she was leaving the site - nothing positive here - etc, etc, etc.  For those of you who are here often, you all know what I am talking about.

I do believe that ecigs are safer than smoking, but it is true that you are not really facing your addiction.  But the bottom line is "everyone has to live their own life".  I still have many friends who continue to smoke -- many friends who are still addicted to nicotine.  They are still my friends, even though I have decided to break my addiction. 

I must learn and adjust, to living in a world of smokers.  There is no way that I can totally avoid it. We must all -- smokers, non-smokers, ex-smokers, vaping people (not sure what they are called, lol) -- learn to get along and tolerate the various opinions about nicotine use.

I want to wish everyone - from the people only thinking about quitting - to the ones who have been quit for years - a very good and peaceful evening.

I am a 65 year old single woman. I quit smoking at 55 and my only regret is that I did not quit sooner. Freedom from cigarettes is truly a wonderful feeling!
