I did start posting already so i skipped the step of proper introduction...
Let me do that now :)
 
I have been a smoker for 15yrs.  quit maybe a total of 3mths (total)... it had become my identity that is until i realized that my "id" was taking over.  No more could i keep track or even pretend to be aware.  I was smoking so many i was shocked!  Then as my sister and all my friends, heck everyone stopped smoking, then i started dating a health nut...then i was secret smoking!  so i decided to come out w. the truth blow the roof off sort of thing, and deal w this killing problem.
I started blogging on my own blogger page but decided that i actually want to talk to people about it... i don't have very many close relationships (prob cause i smoked and hated it) i have pulled the resources i have "here" but needed people who knew what i was taking about...more inspiration.  and yes, a distraction...lol.
so heres to knowing you and quiting, this time for good!!!
 
PS been shaky the last few hrs of today (day 3) but keep reminding myself that it isn't worth it...
