Nine years old today!

If the day I gave up smoking was the first day of new me...then I am 9 years old today. A nice "birth"day, the sun shone and I had a fabulous gift - another day of not even thinking about smoking.

Deciding never to light up again, on that day in March '09, was one of the best things I have ever done. I have repeated that decision continually ever since.

I wish strength to all quitters, new and old.

Stay strong - you can do it.

I am now looking ahead to my 10th birthday and planning a special treat!
