About Fiveblessings

Fiveblessings: 39, Female
Jupiter FL, United States

About Me:: My name is Leslie, I have 5 children and am happily married in South Florida. My father died of lung cancer complications in January of 2001 but I still didn't quit. I am more than ready now. I want to live and see my children grow up. I am also a hospice nurse and see the ravages smoking causes everyday. I have no business taking this life of mine for granted.

"We ask ourselves 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?'... Who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world."

**QUIT DATE: MAY 21, 2008**

Location:: South Florida USA

In 7 1/2 hours I will have 100 days of somke free life behind me and I wanted to take the time to let everyone who has supported me know how eternally grateful I am for helping me along this journey.

It hasn't been easy. I have had several near-misses and still get a twinge of that old urge every now and then. I will always keep in mind that one is all it will take for me to be right back where I started. I will remain vigilant in this quit because I NEVER want to do that first week ov…
