About Me:


47 years old. Smoked for 32 years. I stopped smoking for two years during that time. I tried and failed many times. Patch, gum, cold turkey, wellbutrin, you name it. I lied for 8 months once and convinced myself that I quit when I was sneaking it all along. I guess I figured if no one knew I smoked then I didn't. It got to the point of not being able to hide it anymore. I was not ready and when you are not ready you won't quit. I did not want to wait for my doctor to say quit or...
I started on Chantix but quit only one day after taking it. I wanted to quit and wanted something to help me. I don't like the Chantix and only take one of the two required. I doubt I will stay on it. My want to quit was so strong that I will stay Quit this time. I am not lieing to anyone. It has been almost 4 weeks and I have not cheated. In my dreams I have smoked but was just as disappointed as if I really did smoke. I love that I have joined my friends in not smoking. I have a lot of support people to help me in this venture. Best decision I have ever made was to quit.

Success

It has been over a month since I have been on this site but I often think of everyone. I feel great success in what I have accomplished without smoking. I am not going to start the process of getting my health back. It has been 132 days since I quit. I feel almost human. I hate the smell and even feel sorry for those who smoke. I know how hard it is to quit. I also know it is very easy to start so I choose not to even think of it anymore. That is one of my reason for not getting on here as much.… Continue

FYI

STill smoke free and loving it!

Went to a wedding in another state with my smoking sister this weekend. I did allow her to have a few on the way there and back. I was not tempted and it was with the window open. I have been in bars with more smoke than that. I did not want to be an ex smoker that preaches to others unles they want me to. She is going to try to quit now that she sees how far I have gotten. Her addiction is what is stopping her. Her family would love it if she quit. My t…

Not smoking

I will be taking a break from this web site. Not because of anything or anyone. I just don't feel I have the time or energy to keep it up. I will not be smoking that I am sure of that. I have read many stories most of which I found so touching and inspiring. I don't want to get off the site but I just wanted to let you all know I will not be on too much.

I only have a few weeks left on the Chantix. If even remember to take it. I love not smoking and I can feel safe about not ever start…

Ok so I went out and bought my own ball and shoes today. You wouldnt think that would make a difference, but it really did! My scores tonight were 74, 78 and 95! I just felt more comfortable with my own ball. My handicap tonight was 169, so that tells ya how bad I did last week! LOL I'm just in it for fun though. Last week was my first time bowling and so if my average goes up 30 points every week I will be at 300 in no time lol. Anyway, it was a good smoke free day for me today. Didn't dwell too much. How about you?
