As I'm sure most of you have guessed or know, I simply didn't commit to my quit. Yesterday I finally got to the doctor since I got sick last week.  He was so angry with me, understood.  I made sure my husband went, it's only fair to him to have his say as he watches me kill myself. Came home by 9:00 and my husband and I threw out the cigarettes, except for one thing, the doctor forgot to give me antibiotics.  I'm so damn sick.... A non smoker would have probably been well over this by now....

Back to super bowl, we were supposed to go to my best friend's house who is a smoker.  I just called her and told her why I just can't do it, that I would probably cave and ask and she told me straight out she would have given me one which would only lead to more and more, so that's that. Although I'm not feeling well, we're going to friends who don't smoke.  I blog this while my son is in the garage smoking with my husband who is smoking a cigar, yet watching me like I'm doing something wrong.

Okay, I'm done throwing up verbally.  In the end, the choice is always ours...

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. Quit March 16th. 52 years old, smoked 2 packs a day for 40 years, enough said. Day 124, July 18 I smoked a cigarette and continued to smoke (because there is no such thing as just one) until Sunday, November 2, 2014. April 24, 2015 I'm editing the above. Certainly did not quit back in November and I'm 53 now. Boy, time sure flies... There's nothing worse than being a smoker who wants nothing more than to quit. Okay, so now it's over a year, but I will do this starting today, August 17, 2015. Out of the darkness and into the light.... Needed to update this, quit as of September 14, 2015. Anyone contemplating losing their quit, just follow this time line, it's taken me over a year to take back my freedom when I thought it was going to be so easy to take it back before. Don't make that mistake. Wish I had a counter, but as I write this it is September 24, 2015, I'm in the baby stages of my quit. Day one again, September 28, 2015
