Smoke free since April 21, 2008!!

Profile Information

About Me:
I'm a married mother of three, 2 teen age girls and one 11 yr old boy, enough stress in my life to make anyone want to smoke!

I have been a smoker for the past 25 years. I LOVED to smoke, I would go without eating before not having my smokes. This is my second quit, I quit for a year one time and started back again. How dumb can any person be?!

I Hope Everyone Has A Smoke Free Holiday Season!!

Wow, it feels like it has been ages since I've posted on here, it's been a long battle but so worth it. If you are thinking about quitting or have recently quit hang in there. Always remember you are doing this for you not TO you. Smoking isn't a natural thing but breathing is. Give yourself the best gift you can give and QUIT!! If I can do it you can do it, you just have to want to do it, no one can make you. It's all up to you!! Happy Holidays to all!!!!

6 months and smoke free!!! You can do it too!!

Seems like ages since I've been here. I hope everyone that has quit stays that way and for those that are ready lots of luck to you, you can do this!!


My quit began Six Months, 14 Hours and 42 Minutes ago, while extending my life expectancy 22 Days and 7 Hours, by avoiding the use of 6426 smokes that would have cost me $1,214.10.

Almost 4 months!!

Since it has been awhile since I have posted I wanted to let everyone know that I am still smoke free, I still think about smoking from time to time but those thoughts are getting fewer and farther between (even though my husband is still a smoker) I can't even begin to tell you how much better I feel being smoke free. It's getting harder to remember what it was like being a smoker.

To those of you just beginning your quit you can do this, it is so worth it!!

Wow, hard to believe isn't it. Maybe not for you but for me it truly is. I would have never in my wildest dreams believed that I would not be smoking… Continue

Can you handle the truth?

I've been a member here since right before my quit, a couple of days I think. And I usually pop in at least every day to read what others are saying on the main page of the community. Some of you may think eh, what does she know she only quit Two Months(+Eleven Days, 10 Hours and 44 Minutes) ago.

I'm not trying to say that I know it all, that I know more than him/her, I'm only passing on what I do know and have learned about quitting this addiction to others in hope they will get inspi… Continue

Hey Jaded, I'm doing some house cleaning here and am deleting those who seem to have disappeared. If I don't get a response back from you within a couple of days I will assume you are gone and will delete you from my friend list. Don't mean nothin' personal by it. I'm just trying to be more attentive to those who ARE still around. I hope wherever you are that you are well and smoke free.

Hi Jaded, Merry Christmas. I didn't recognize you. You took off your sun
glasses and morphed into a familiar panorama. Thank you for your help
last year. I quit on December 21, MMVII. I figured from your attitude that
you had an actual obsession for quitting. That's what works for me. My
entire family is proud of me. High country Colorado. Cross country skiing.
You are A+ That's cool. But this is a pass/fail course. Never a single puff.
Last night there were a lot of people smoking and now I am all nervous from
the second-hand smoke. I am obsessed with never smoking again, which
is why, Jaded, I wish you fine holiday season. Basta Tabacchi. Ciao
