ok my lil sister is in drug rehab, and I asked my mom if it was weird I was able to quit doing drugs as well as cigs without going to rehab?  she said no and that she said she never saw me quitting cigarettes in the 15 years I was smoking them.  and my mom said she was so proud of me, so inspired she was also able to quit smoking too because if I could do it so could she.  and I thought that was really cool and I just wanted to share this with you all lol happy quit everyone!!!

love,

What a great story. It always feels so good to hear that you inspired another person to do a good thing. On top of that, when you manage to kind of turn the tables and inspire a parent to do the right thing this is really something to be proud of.

I know right?  it was really cool that she quit too but maybe I can inspire my lil sis too, but she is stuck on me being her older over barring sis itll take sometime for her to come through...she still isn't ready to quit doing narcotics just yet...I hope she comes through so she can get her baby back.

That is AWESOME! Thank you for allowing us to share in that moment with you. Continue to move forward, life only gets better from here. Continue to be a positive force for your family. I pray for your sister to "come around", I do not know her story, but hope she sees her big sis and the positive impact quitting has / will have on your life, she would want the same for herself also....

Kudos - it's a wonderful thing you have done for yourself AND your Mom.  Perhaps it will encourage your Sis to think  that it can be done.  I  sure hope so!

We inspire others by our actions way more than our words.  My son quit drinking about a year after I quit smoking.  It will soon be 4 years for me and three years for him.  Way to go!  Congrats on your quit.

I LOVE it, I will have to check that book out.  Personally, I believe that Chaos was very instrumental in your quit! He reminds you with his loving eyes of how important your quit is.
