BEAUTIFUL AUTUMN DAY

Good Morning to my EX family, it is a beautiful autumn day here in Texas.  Temperature is about 50 degrees and sun shining.  I pray for everyone in Sandy's path to be safe.  Do not smoke over the weather for it will get better and not because you smoked but because it is God's natural procress.

I am going to finish getting ready for winter.  I have completed the front yard and today the back yard will be done.

I encourage everyone to enbrace their FREEDOM from nicotine, you have lost nothing but have GAINED so much. to breathe the fresh autumn air, smell the apple cinnamon pies baking(yummy) being an example to children not only yours but to all you come in contact with.One other thing is more money in your pocket to use for something besides a puff of smoke.  Always remember N.O.P.E. and N.E.F. these are the words that will give you a better life.

Betty---------quit for 593 days.

Gone but Not Forgotten. RIP - they leave a legacy of their quit journeys behind as road maps for future members, to prevent the pitfalls, provide the tools and show the hope and possibilities for success at overcoming this addiction at any age at any stage. Mother, grandmother and great grandmother My name is Betty and I was born and raised in Kentucky where tobacco was a way of life. I started smoking full time by age 14. The first time I can remember smoking I was 9. I have been on the road to quitting for several years. I quit once for 6 weeks and then thought I would smoke just one. It only took a few weeks till I was smoking full time again. That is why remembering NOT ONE PUFF EVER is so important. It will never be just one puff or just one cigarette. Nicotine addiction doesn't work like that, it is an addiction, feed it and you become addicted. Here are a couple of links to reading materials that I recommend to ALL who would like to quit smoking: What to Expect in the First Four Months (by Jonescarp aka Dale): http://community.becomeanex.org/pg/blog/read/3713880/what-to-expect-in-the-first-four-months The "Easy Way to Stop Smoking" by Allen Carr.
