Hello from an EX-smoker in Texas, y'all!

[Sage]

This is the intro I posted in Whack The Pack.... The only thing I'm changing is the day... when I wrote this it was Day 1.

Hi folks,

I've been a smoker on and off for 24 years. There have been years of quit for me and the past 10 years I've really been on again, off again. My latest on again I can credit to my impending divorce. I hate being a smoker. Absolutely hate it. Love to smoke... But hate the smoking. Hate the weight in my chest, the tickle in my throat, the smell, the threat of a raspy voice and wrinkles. I thought last time I quit was it. But once again, my arrogance got the best of me. "Oh I won't start again! Just give me one!"

Never again. I am an addict. I'll never be an ex addict. That means five years from now I can't have one any more than I can have one today.

Today is Day 4! I posted in roll call.

Thanks for the support.

So glad to have you quitting with us LHG...see PM for my number. Had fun in chat tonight.

Welcome to KTC! Quite a few ex smokers and ladies here. We can be a bit gruff and crude at times, but we are 100% committed to staying guit. Glad to have you!
