Hello everyone and thank you for remembering me. I'm happy to report - I've maintained my quit. It's been a little trying recently. What with hot flashes ( I'm 50), insomnia, having an almost-wedding and a weight-gain of 12lbs! Actually to be honest, I'm pleased with the weight gain because the gauntness has left my face and my skin's glowing again - yay! (Checked the BMI, still within range so "Yay to having curves again!") I hope you're all well, maintaining your quit, but if not - try, try and try again!!

Still here Nancy, Just haven't logged on. Pleased to report I'm still a fresh-smelling, financially-literate individual !! Hope you're well?

There really are some wonderful people out there! Thank you so much, all of you. Really. How can one not pay such kindness forward.

3 packs. Each time I approached that counter I made sure I left at least $21 poorer!

Thank you all for the welcoming messages and encouraging words. It's great to be here. Thank You.

Been a smoker since the age of 18. I'm 50 now. In bygone days I coulda done the math without a thought and told you how many years that is. Not now uh-uh. I blame the leasing of my brain (and life!) to Mr Malboro Menthol 100's. Bought them in threes even though I was a 20-cig-a-day habit. Woke up on this particular Sunday morning (rainy, windy, cold) and realized I'd forgotten to buy them the previous night. Of course that warranted a leap out of bed, check cash situation, bring the credit card along, slip into sweats and high tail it to gas station. This particular Sunday I realized I didn't want to. Instead,I wanted to roll over, pull the covers over my head and stay in the warmth of my snug bed. And that's what I did. And that became my quit day. Just like that. Hi Everyone :)
