My First Blog on my First Quit Day!

I'm going to be quick as in 12 minutes quick!

I've been wanting to quit for a long time and have been planning and planning.  Recently several issues including a new additional $2 tax on a pack of cigarettes in my city (Philadelphia) pushed the issue!  I've had people who care about me urging me to quit so I chose a date, lined up my resources and got going on this site.  I chose to quit on a Monday because weekdays go by faster than weekends. 

I'm a 48 year young female, unmarried and living on my own in the big city.  Smoking is just not "cool" anymore and not something I want to be stuck with!  I have several non-smoking related disabilities and smoking just isn't convenient anyway!

I train dogs for fun and money.  I love hanging out with my friends of various species and laughing and having a good time.  Lately I've noticed I'm the only one dependent on ashtrays!  Yuck!  I'd love to use the money I would be spending on cigarettes to do something really special for myself- maybe a trip somewhere or a nice piece of art. 

I hope to meet lots of people here who can support me as I will them.  I'll probably be begging for a cigarette by 8am but don't let me give in!  In this case, quitting is such a good thing!
