Hi there everyone. First of all....thanks for all your support and encouragement for all these months...could not be where i am without the support of everyone here. I turned 50 yesterday. It was the first birthday in 35 years as a non-smoker...it was the first birthday in 35 years where i didn't have to leave a room to have a cigarette - finish a cigarette - hide the fact that i was smoking a cigarette....I told myself a few months ago that i could not enter the next phase of my life as a smoker..that being 50 should indicate some sense of maturity and strength...we all make mistakes in life but knowing what i know about the horrors of smoking...how could i continue to do so and consider myself an adult with a good head on her shoulders? so here i am...i accomplished my goal of being smoke free at 50. of course, the night before my birthday, i dreamt that i not only smoked...but smoked a pack...i sat on my couch and cried that i let myself down and needed to re-set my meter....but then i woke up and realized it was a bad dream....instead of saying "yikes, i am 50..." i said "wow...that was only a dream and i made it after all!" so thank you for being here ...all of you......WE ROCK!

Cigarettes Not Smoked
can be quite disturbing sometimes, but once you realize it for what it is, then you breathe a sigh and feel good about yourself. You're doing fantastic! 
Happy Birthday
