THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS IS IN YOUR HEART

To everyone at EX, on this Christmas Eve day be thankful you are no longer in the grip of the nicodemon. That is the best Christmas gift anyone could have. This is my third Christmas smoke free but if it is your first or tenth it is still the best gift ever. To the "newbies" just keep saying NOT ONE PUFF EVER, NOPE is the word to live by. You can be FREE and the longer I am the more I love it.

I wish everyone a very wonderful time with family, friends and the spirit of Christmas being in your heart.

Love and Hugs to all

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. Mother, grandmother and great grandmother My name is Betty and I was born and raised in Kentucky where tobacco was a way of life. I started smoking full time by age 14. The first time I can remember smoking I was 9. I have been on the road to quitting for several years. I quit once for 6 weeks and then thought I would smoke just one. It only took a few weeks till I was smoking full time again. That is why remembering NOT ONE PUFF EVER is so important. It will never be just one puff or just one cigarette. Nicotine addiction doesn't work like that, it is an addiction, feed it and you become addicted. Here are a couple of links to reading materials that I recommend to ALL who would like to quit smoking: What to Expect in the First Four Months (by Jonescarp aka Dale): http://community.becomeanex.org/pg/blog/read/3713880/what-to-expect-in-the-first-four-months The "Easy Way to Stop Smoking" by Allen Carr.
