July Roll Call

[Don]

Oh what the heck, anyone still out there?

It's July (really-already!) and time for a call of the Roll!

I'm still smokeless, don't care to smoke, don't need to smoke, hardly ever hear the NicoBeast anymore.

That isn't to say that life is smooth and easy. No, nope, life is as hectic as ever. I'm more busy than ever. Free time-nil.
Work taking all the time and not giving any pleasure back.

In my addicted years, oh my would I light up. I can't imagine myself doing that now...I mean, what's the point? It wouldn't solve anything.
Just another cigarette wasted and another cloud in my lungs.

When I started this journey with you all, my son was just a little tiny tyke (The Girl) wasn't even born then.
Now, The Boy stands taller than me and drives my butt around.
Glad to see they haven't lit up nor have the inkling to.

Breaking the chain of addiction hopefully means breaking it across generations...but in reality it is their choice.

I made my choice and I am much better for it.

I choose to remain smokeless, no matter what!!

cigless since: 10/27/99

I'm wondering the same thing. Don't know why everyone left. I don't smoke anymore and don't plan to start. Speaking of lungs, I am having a lung biopsy tomorrow and not looking forward to it. I had a CT scan done a couple of weeks ago and doctor ordered a biopsy. I still miss my husband very much. I think about him constantly and lonely without him.

I also choose to remain smokefree.

I meant to post here on my 13th year of freedom!
Don, its awesome that our kids didn't have to grow up with us smoking away!
I am confident that we will all benefit from that decision. And it was just
that.... a decision to become smokefree. One of the hardest things i have ever done without question!!!!  Country, your in my thoughts...I pray that everything is fine!

Happy 4th everyone.

I'm here on the same day I quit 16 years ago!!! I don't have the meter on this computer, but I know I've saved TONS of money and gained a lot of life. I'm so proud of us!!! I'm also so sickened that someone invented those e-cigs. I will never give in to nicotine again!!! Good to see you all!!!
