Today I celebrate my 7th anniversary of not smoking. I never, ever, ever, thought I would be able to quit (at first because I thought I enjoyed it, and then later when I realized how addicted I was). I smoked a pack and a half a day for 40 years (more when I was partying!) I planned my life around when I would be able to have a cigarette. I finally just got tired of cigarettes ruling my life. I missed half of every event I attended, because I had to sneak out and smoke. For all of you who are reading this and are scared to try to quit...quitting is uncomfortable or even miserable at times, but it will not kill you. I cried, screamed, sang, danced, showered a lot (you can't smoke in the shower) and begged loved ones to be patient with me. Other than the obvious benefits of quitting, I have also formed life long friendships on this board with people from all over the world. For those or you thinking of quitting....I promise you it is well worth it. If you need a mentor, send me a private message. Thank you, Quit Train!

Oh, Paul, that was so awful!! Thank you for the kind words....and anniversary is coming up. Love you! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! Thank you so much...lots of wine and a new phone to celebrate! Still social distancing!

Doreen, thank you so much for your loving friendship. We have been through so much in our 7 years. When I was desparate to stop smoking, I never knew I could make it, or that I could end up with such a dear, life long friend as you. Love you so much! Thank you so much, dear Reci, and than you for all you do, here!

Thanks so much to all! I'm at work right now and will write more later!!
