-12

In the morning...I am running in a 5k...I fool myself into believing then I can eat what I want (I know that's not true but I figured it couldn't hurt..plus it's for a good cause--donating food for local food kitchen. Then later...small family gathering at my sisters house with my daughter and granddaughter, my other sister and her family, my mom and stepdad. Still not sure if my middle child Michael and family are coming...and my youngest will still be in S. Korea until 12/30 Not sure if I'm taking off Friday...I have no reason to..I don't shop that day for sure! We'll see...I like saving vacation days for Christmas and after since my son is coming home

You have....'arrived' :) Well done!!

Welcome to the quit train Zowie!!

support group saved my quit Even though I am responsible...without support..somewhere along the line in my early days and weeks and months ...I would have had that 1 puff. I know it.

Oh gosh. I just had flashbacks from those times. Digging through ashtray to straighten out a butt and light it. Grosssss. When I was at casino I ran out of smokes and paid 12 bucks a pack. (That's when it was normally 7 dollars a pack) But honestly I would have paid 20. I would probably have paid even more. Damn addiction

my parents smoked around us all the time...and my mom used the excuse that they didn't know any better back then. I call bullshit because I remember learning in school how bad smoking was for you and crying at 8 thinking my parents were going to die. Young parents especially...just do dumb things sometimes. 1. They are young and ignorant...(not an excuse but people do what they do the best they can with what they know at the time) 2. Those kids came easy to them...got knocked up at a young age...and just simply don't appreciate the gift that the babies are 3. They are just uneducated and believe what they believe...that if they smoke with a window open in the care then the baby doesn't inhale the smoke I say this because I sometimes did #3 with my kids in the car on long trips....I would open all the windows and hang my arm out the window so, no smoke is possibly going on/in my child...right??? WRONG! I found that out the hard way when my son was told he smelled like smoke when he was 11...and I never ever ever smoked again in his presence. Also, when my kids were little....we didn't smoke in the house in general but on Friday nights people would come over to play cards...and I thought as long as the kids were in bed with the door shut.....it was ok. Wrong again! But when you are addicted...you take risks, you justify...you fool yourself....anything...ANYTHING to get that fix. Even put blinders on so what I am saying is....even the best of us.........did stupid things at one time or another :) didn't mean we didn't love our kids.

welcome to the Quit Train Johnny!

I smoked a ton of pot so I barely remember high school I was stoned 90 percent of the time. I didn't go to prom. But I did go to 2 reunions and they were a blast

Yes. We've been looking for you!! Miss your crazy self. Glad you are well. Who needs a man anyway? They are overrated

that's very obvious :P

mine are FINALLY showing...finally!! only took me a year and a half...I just like doing the ab challenges because they are fun and also I like strengthening my core. but I agree with you 100%

LOVE IT!!! So exciting for you and the Mrs. xoxo

I kissed a girl... underwear...I have to wear it. They are cute....and pretty...but I need cotton on my crotch

Hahahahaha!!

Day 11 yesterday done. Ouch Today is day 12. Rest.

I tried once in my experimental stage. It wasn't horrible....just didn't turn me on. At all. Although I find women attractive and find myself drawn to attractive women...I have never been turned on by a woman. Just not for me. Neither are threesomes. Not for me. Sex to me is so intimate and private and even though we joke about Babs in the back seat---to actually have sex...I have to love and trust that person. I can't do casual sex. Maybe when I would get drunk I would consider it but luckily I don't get drunk. Haha

day 9 yesterday was done Just finished day 10. getting tougher

I said it on facebook but I'll say it again here...hope you had a wonderful birthday Colleen!! xo

Tew! So proud of you. I hope at some point today you are really able to take it in...and feel the excitement and really appreciate what it truly means for you. YOU are a smoke free warrior!! You did it! Onward and upward for beautiful things my friend....the benefits keep showing and growing..you only have to just notice them. :)

Lol
