Description

My Name is Michele & I just turned 60 last month. I am a Florida native & live on the west coast, on the Gulf of Mexico. I had quit smoking for 9 yrs about 25 yrs ago, only to begin again when my 1st husband died of melanoma.Happily re-married to my best friend ever, we are both very active & act like 16 yr old kids in love! Married now for 15 yrs. I have 2 grown sons (35 & 32) & one grandson(6 yr old) with another on the way in Aug. 2014. My boys are both married, one is an attorney in NY (he went to law school up there & decided to stay),  the other is an International Teacher in  Yerevan,Armenia, as is his wife.I believe I use smoking as my comforter, something to keep me company since my kids are gone & my husband currently travels 2-4 weeks a month. I get very lonely & call upon my faithful "friend" to  help with boredom. I do stay very busy with my landscape business & I do have friends around, but I miss my kids & husband terribly. My Mom lives in Tampa which is an hour away. My Dad died New Years Eve, in their home on the last day of 2012. It was a very deep loss for me. I want to quit smoking while I am still active & healthy.

About the Author
Recently retired from my own landscape business. Native Floridian, born in Sarasota FL. I do not act my age nor do I feel it. Smoking was a major part of my life until I found this site 4 years ago. Quit 4 years ago & I will never go back to it! My husband & I quit at the same time, not only for ourselves, but for our 2 grown sons & up & coming grandchildren. Neither of our sons ever smoked & we are so proud of them. Love being outdoors, boating, fishing, water skiing, hiking. Love college football & some pro football. Live for my family.
