Good Afternoon

0 9 1

Hello to all EXers, just want to say hello and hope everyone is okay and enjoying a smoke Free day.

We had a very nice Thanksgiving, first here at home and then went to my grandsons for a family get together. To much food not to overeat, so I did. I also went to spend Thanksgiving night with my daughter that lives about 45 miles fromwhere we live. Both her and her husband smoke and it did not bother me until I got home. I was unpacking my overnight bag and when I got out the gown I used to sleep in the smoke smell hit me full force. I threw it in the washer and thought "I used to smell like this"???? I also wear hand braces at night and they also picked up the smell but have gotten that out also. So if anyone thinks they can hide their smoking I am not sure that is possible.

I encourage the new quitters to stay vigilant on protecting their quits. Smelling good is great but more important it will save your life.

Everyone have a good evening.

My love to all, Betty

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.
