I am taking this opportunity to announce to the EX world that I have reached 600 days totally free from all forms of nicotine on this cold turkey quit of mine! After many failed attempts, I have finally come into my own, having experienced many "no matter whats" along the way. In fact, today I faced an additional one: Barb, my last dear friend of 60 years passed away last night. We were quite a group, these small town gals who raised our kids together and then remained close into our senior years.

I am cherishing my fond memories of this dear lady tonight and honoring her life by choosing to not smoke over her loss. She was so proud of my quit! 

And I remain committed to my sacred spiritul promise that no matter what happens in my life, I will never smoke another cigarette.

Prior to my first quitting on 8/25/2019, I was a heavy smoker for over 60 years. That time, I quit due to health concerns regarding clogged arteries to my brain. Tar deposits from cigarettes were making the situation worse. I had become a prime candidate for a stroke and required surgery to clean out my left carotid artery. I have relapsed 4X since that quit, the last one being on 05.15.2022. ( At one point in all of this madness, I had been quit for 1.5 years). Then on 9/7/2021 I began my recent eight month quit before my current relapse. I am in the process of planning a return to the non-smoking life. After more than 2 weeks of smoking, wheezing and coughing and being short of breath, I have set my new quit date of June 1, 2022 as the beginning of my forever quit. I am done with this madness!! God is good.
