Ok so I was sitting here and I got to thinking and it dawned on me omg I have been a non smoke for 1 year now. I am so proud of my self I have to tell some one. I smoked for 15 years. I would wake up and have one and the last thing I would do before going to bed was have one. I am glad to say I no longer have that monkey on my back so to speak. I am much healthier and happier. I no longer have to hear my daughter telling me that I am gonna die if I keep smoking. You know how kids are they are so blunt. Any way I just wanted to share my sucess with you all. Thanks for stopping by my discussion. Have a great day.

Thank you for your response. I believe what you say :) I know that I had help other than my daughter. Even every one in my family is amazed I did it. LOL.

The quitting was the easy part it was finding something to do with my hands that drove me nuts lol. The best part is that I can walk now and not get winded. I live in Colorado and let me tell you walking was always a chore for me when I smoked..

Well my daughter was never around when I smoked. I smoked outside and away from her but she knew what it was doing to me and that is the reason she kept telling me I was gonna die. I was so upset to hear her say that over and over again. I honestly think I quit just to not hear her say that any more.

Good for you Autumnrose.
I still can not stop smoking, even though children are always reminded me. Can only minimize it. You surely know, smokers difficult were given advice to stop.

For me it was just one day I woke up and said today is the day and that was 1/5/08 and here I am now a year later still a X smoker. Good luck to you hopefully you will have a day like I did.
