I'm Back...for good.

It's really great to see new members and old friends.  Unfortunately, after over a year quit (in January), my mother died unexpectedly.  I'm not about excuses, but I started smoking again.  It took almost 4 months for me to decide to quit again.  With mother's day just around the corner, I tried to think of a way to celebrate her life...the first thing that came to mind was taking better care of my life.  I have smoked my last cigarette. Looking forward to reconnecting and meeting everyone else who is kicking butts!

Dodge--Welcome back....sincerest sympathy on one of the biggest losses a person can experience. As a Mom myself, I can tell you your Mom would be so proud that you are taking care of yourself in her honor. A parent ALWAYS cares more for their child than for themselves. I am sure your Mom does see what you are doing now and always. STAY STRONG.

I'm so sorry about your Mom.  I can't begin to imagine what you're slogging through.  If it helps at all, I lost my dad a year ago and I've been awakened by my quit to my true feelings of grief.  Maybe that will make sense to you?  It just feels better going through my grief without the harm I was inflicinting upon myself with smoking.  My grief is raw and it's the way it should be.  I'm glad to hear that you know you need to reconnect with your own health.  So many people here can help you as you probably already well know.  Good luck and we stand beside you.

Welcome home!! I left the porch light on every night! I am indeed, really sorry for the loss of your mother. There is nothing I can say, or do, that will make that better! What I can and will do, is be here for you, and stand beside you as you travel the path to Freedom! In the end what we all want for or children is Freedom, and a chance to EXcel! You can have both and your Mother will be smiling down on her little girl! Big Hug 4 U!!(((((((U)))))))
