It's going to get into the low 90's here in Eastern Canada which is super fantastic because once it gets that hot I plan on relaxing in my patio area on my swing and possibly barbecue some pork chops and have a toss salad and once I shut down my tablet, I'm going to do up a potato salad as well and doing these kind of things almost two years ago would mean smoke breaks every half hour or so just because of habit mostly, definitely addiction but it was habit too .I got thinking about my smoking days and am so thankful that I finally wised up and tossed the yakies ( cigarettes ) away and if you haven't quit yet now is the time or if you are struggling hang on tight because relapsing isn't an option, your health, family and even your wallet need for you to plow through the rough patches because believe it or not , your quit is going to get easier each day but you must remember that smoking for decades upon decades with the highly addictive nicotine poison and all those yrs of habitually lighting up whenever and wherever and however we wanted now you must relearn life on lifes terms without the crutch, it's definitely uncomfortable and hair pulling at times but it's so worth it to be free, I smoked for 40 yrs and I am almost to the 2 yr milestone and until I was willing, determined and totally committed to quitting I never lasted for more than a couple of months but when I found out that I have copd then I made the plan and found this site with all of you and put my heart and soul into this quit so quitting smoking is absolutely doable and absolutely worth all of the withdrawals and roller coaster ups and downs. If I can succeed and so many others in this Ex community have successfully quit so can you, Victory is yours, hang tough .

I'm a proud Gram of 2 grandsons and a granddaughter and I consider myself a jack of all trades and a master of none, plus I enjoy reading and being outside and since quitting smoking breathing is so much easier because I'm not coughing half of my time sucking on a cancer stick....
