One year ago to this day, I quit smoking. I am very proud of myself. In all honesty, I LOVED smoking, and all the moments that I associated with it. But what I love even more is not smoking! I feel so capable and confident in myself, cause if I can quit smoking, I can do just about anything! It's all about setting your mind to do it. If you want it, you can do it.
I still have the urge and have accepted that I may always have the urge throughout the rest of my life. . . that's how fond I am (was) of smoking. But i won't dare do it, cause I know myself well enough to know I'll get suckered right back in with just one small puff of a cig. Just like Lay's potato chips, I can't have just one.
For anyone who desires to quit. . . it's all about the patch! Call 1800-quitline, a national organization that kicks ass, with support groups and chat lines and information and most importantly, FREE PATCHES! They interview you for 10 minutes and then send you free boxes of patches, as many as you need.
If I could quit, anyone can quit. It's the best thing I've ever done for myself.

Mere,
I'm going to put them back down (again) in 2 months.
Don't know what I was thinking picking them up after quitting for 5 years.
Hats off for you for NOT falling back under stressful situations.

Congrats Meredith! You are right...it is all about mindset. I encourage all others to follow the lead and kick the habit.
Hell Yeah girl! You are a rockstar. You truly are. I had a blast dancing the other night. isn't it nice to dance your butt off and not have to leave a show to smoke a butt!
Love you,
Megan
Mere, you are a rockstar!!! I can't believe that you kick so much ass. You and Andy will look back when your very old and healthy be proud of all your hard work. Just think, without the cigs and all the awesome new eating habits you and Andy are adopting, you will be unstopable. :) :) :)
Mere-
I know how incredibly huge this is for you, and I am SO, SO proud of you. Wow! A whole year! You are truly a rock star. I love ya, girlfriend!
