Casino

I went to my niece's wedding shower today in a neighboring town that has a small casino.  After the shower, I decided to stop in for awhile and try my luck.  I have not been in a casino since I quit.  I was a little leary of going because of all the smoke and frankly I was afraid that it would be a huge temptation.  Turned out to be just the opposite.  I people watch - and was literally amazed to see all the chain smokers - sitting there glued to their slot machine taking big, deep puffs off that nasty cigarette over and over again.  Here i am just under a year and it is already hard for me to believe that I was just like that - exactly one year ago.  So to all of your just starting your journey, hang in there - it just gets better and better!

Jennifer 359 DOF - 7180 un-smoked cigarettes that I will toss in the bonfire in just a bit!

PS - I walked out with a little over $500.00 more in my pocket   than what I went in with - not a bad day at all!

I am a 63 year old single woman. I quit smoking at 55 and my only regret is that I did not quit sooner. Freedom from cigarettes is truly a wonderful feeling!
