Sorry I haven't been here for awhile but all my days lately seem to be a blob, actually I usually don't even know what day it is.  My Mom passed away on June 7th and we really weren't expecting it.  So many things are changing in my life and I have had so many opportunities to and felt so much at times like giving up and getting my _ _ _ in my car and buying a pack of smokes and smoking about 10 all at once but I didn't, don't ask me why, it's a mystery to me.  The only thing I can think of is that deep down inside I really do not want to smoke anymore and by the grace of God I wont.  The other day I went outside to look at my garden and enjoy a little sunshine, my neighbor walked by and I am not kidding, he blew a cloud of smoke right in my face, it went right up my nose and I just started coughing and practically gagging and waving away the smoke, I said, thanks God, you just reminded me I really don't want to smoke anymore.  It's been over 100 days and I just want to thank all of you precious people again for all your help, advice and understanding and I hope I can inspire even one person  to be strong, to hang in there and never take another puff, you can do it.

Love you all and I thank God for all of you.

Sherry, I am so sorry you lost your Mom.  Its such a difficult thing.  Wishing for you peace in your Heart, Sweetie.

I am SO proud of you for protecting your quit.  Our brain always goes to the "smoke" in times of stress...... but yep, deep down inside you know you are done forever...... there is that resolve that stops you.  I hope you are holding your head up high..... you are doing a GREAT job.  You have helped inspire me.

Stay Strong... and be easy on yourself....... this is a tough time for you. ♥

So sorry about your mothers passing, Sherry! I am very glad you didn't smoke over it. Smoking doesn't make anything better. I will be saying a prayer for you and your family.
