I am Malissa and I am SMOKE-FREE!

Thank you, all! I know you can all quit because you are here and doing it! Some people just want to smoke forever and say, "I'm never gonna quit." They probably never will. None of us are in that category because we really do want to quit and are taking steps to ensure that it happens. So, whenever it is...it will happen for each and every one of us. Be good to you. I'm being good to me and I feel taken care of...I love it! :o)

9/23/09 Still smoke-free and lovin' it! It feels so great to take such good care of myself! It's nice to know that I'm not feeding myself poison anymore. I can't believe I ever did because I care too much about myself to do anything harmful to myself but I guess I just ignored the facts for a long time...not anymore! I'm healthy and happy and intend to stay that way! Yay me!!!

Whew...over a month! Yay me!! :o)

7/15/09 I'm still SMOKE-FREE on Day 17...wow! This is great! I feel so good about quitting that nasty habit. I guess what they say is true...you really have to be "ready" to quit. Really, you just have to be in the right place mentally and I'm there. I want to be a non-smoker more than I want a cigarette! I never want to go back to that life-style, I feel too good about where I'm at now to ever go back. Gotta run for now. Stick with it!!! Have a great day! :o)

7/5/09 Today is my 7th day of being SMOKE-FREE and I'm feeling great! The 4th of July, Independence Day, had a different meaning for me this year. I truly feel FREE and nothing has control of me. My life is my own and I can go in any direction I want to. Smoke-free and lovin' it!! :o)

6/29/09 I made it through the day! I actually did very well. I was so excited about quitting that I tried not allow any thought of having a cigarette come to mind. I only had minor thoughts of cigarettes at all, at times that I would normally have them, like after eating, or coming home from work, but I just stopped the thought process and said..."SO WHAT." Then did something else to replace what I would have done; such as having a tootsie pop or a tooth pick, gum, or some nuts. During the day,… Continue

6/29/09 Smoke-free, as of today, and feeling great!

6/28/09 Tomorrow's the big day! I will be smoke-free when I wake up in the morning and for the rest of my life! I'm truly looking forward to it but I do know that it sounds easier than it is. I will be coming back very soon... :o)
