Went for first holiday family gathering today as a nonsmoker.  Went better than I anticipated.  Had a couple of strong urges. I put mint in mouth,grabbed my water bottle and  took my self away in time out and took a walk. After the 3rd urge, I decided it was time to go.  Yay I chose not to smoke and came home as a nonsmoker.

Thanks to all for the extra advise and of course thanks you the elders for all your

Hi! My name is Sharon and I am married, a mom to 5 kids and also have 2 fur babies that are both shelties and considered my kids. I have smoked for about 30 years. I came here to learn how to quit and stay quit. I need to quit to impove my health and was tired of nicotine controlling me and Doctors and family nagging me. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. Now that I have joined in the EX family I now have been free of nicotine since May 13th 2016.
