I'm sorry you're going through some bad stuff sam. It is very true our quit gives us back inner strength and self worth. It becomes an entitiy in it's own right that we will literally fight to save. Good work on the mindset. xx

1 week to the day after we quit smoking my hub was let go of his job of like 7? years.

Perfect "excuse" to "quit another day," but by then I'd done so much research and committed myself so fully that I knew there was no going back.  I texted him, "Whatever you do, don't smoke."

Life is not always a bowl of cherries, but problems are sooo much harder to deal with as a smoker.  Because you always have 2 problems then, your problem at hand, and the problem that you are an addict.

You have the right mindset Sammie!  You are doing so well.

You are inspirational, sammie.  A lot to learn from you.

You have quit smoking with so much grace...love it.
