About Me:
I have been married for 9 years and have a beautiful daughter. My other children include 4 horses & 3 dogs (yes, their my children too :) I work in the medical field, which makes it even worse that I smoke. Everyday I see the effects of smoking but yet I continue. Before my daughter was born I had quit for about a year & stayed off of them for another year after she was born, but something at work triggered my smoking again. Friends at work that smoke plus the stress that I was going through at work. Well that person and the stress are gone & I'm ready to start over again & stay on the quitting track this time. My daughter & husband are my life & I couldn't imagine their life or mine if I weren't in it.

STICKING TO MY QUIT

154 days ago I smoked my last cancer stick. Now let me be honest, I don't think I really wanted to quit at the time but I was so sick and tired of hearing my husband complain about the smell and how I picked the worst times to light up. Not to mention my daughter begging me to quit and heartbreaking in itself. The only thing I can remember myself thinking before I made the decision was how tired I was of having to smoke as soon as I left work, the taste the nasty things left in my mouth and goin… Continue

100 DAY RAMBLE

Day 1 of my quit is still a very vivid memory for me. I was excited to get started, scared to death that I wouldn't be able to do it and determined that I was going to stick with it this time. I remember searching the internet a few weeks before my quit date for some guidance and understanding from someone like me. I remember thinking how hard this was going to be, it was going to kill me to quit. Then I found this website and remember thinking that it was impossible that there were so many peop… Continue

What Happens to Your body if you stop smoking Right now?

I'm on day 77 and was curious what was going on with my body since I quit smoking, so I found the following information and thought I would share with all my quitters here. When I quit and wrote my 1st blog it was a shock on how long I had been smoking, 15 years, it didn't seem like it should be long, but it was. So after reading this information I knew another 15 years wasn't to far from now. We are doing a body good by quitting and it will show, just be patient. In 20 minutes your blood press… Continue

IT WAS AT MY LIPS

So I have 62 days under my belt and I almost let something stupid here at work cause me to cave. Yes I know, nothing can cause me to do, it’s my choice but I was so close today. We had our meeting this morning to go over what we were going to discuss with the employees about the lack of raises they will be handing out this year. Some other things happened and I just got worked up over the bullsh*t I was hearing. After the meeting I went to someone that smokes and asked them to give me a smoke, s… Continue

So you didn't even have to huff and puff and blow the house down!!!! Isn't silly to see someone light up before they take on such a thing as a walk up a mountain...."OH, better get a smoke in first,,,that is going to help me!!!"

Oh, but that was yesteryear for you and me!!! We want to take the girls there before summer is up, but they just have way to much going on....all the time, non stop...not much of a summer break to me, but These aren't my children either!!! I think I will start calling her the Drill Sargent!!!

Well dear, as always it was a pleasure seeing you on my page!!! It is very far and few between, but I will take all I can get!!!

Have a peaceful Tuesday...and remember that mountain fresh air!!

So I was going to come on your page and ask you..."Angela, are you ever going to surface??? Are you ever going to come visit me again??? And then I saw your blog......Well...you are at least breathing...good sign!!! Oh, and Gatlinburg..YiPEE........ So much fun to go there.
We had a condo in Hilton Head for about 15 years and always made it a point to stop there on the way down or back...boy do it change over the years..but it is still the mountains and fresh air...and you are going as a non smoker...way cool!!! I am so proud of you my friend...keep up the fantastic job, or it is me that is following you, right??!!!!!~~~~~
