I'm back again. Quit date is Sunday, July 3, 2022. I have just retired from teaching! Ready to begin the next chapter of my life. No more excuses. I used the stress of my job as the reason for me to smoke. I quit twice. Once because of the desire to be healthy. That lasted 3 months. The second was for a health scare. That lasted 50 days and when all was well, I said just a little longer-5 a day- and went back. Now back to over a pack a day. I have so many blessings in my life. And I need to get healthy because of these blessings. I see all the commercials and say I will quit before then. Then I see they are ME. I know this is going to be one of the hardest things I have to do. Been there. Gotta get through hell week and heck week....and I know for certain that it takes much more time than that to not only physically but more importantly PYSCHOLOGICALLY to get me through this and over this. Both times I quit I said "just one" when I thought I had it.....people told me that doesnt work. I read it doesnt work. But I knew better....NOT! So here I am again. 55 years old...recently retired teacher....and a person who wants to enjoy her next chapter in life as healthy as I can be.....thanks for reading. ANY OLD OR NEW ADVICE IS MORE THAN WELCOMED! I know I am not alone in this battle....THANKS!
