  • Starting over again.. again.. Finally had an epiphany that doing for everyone else left me out of the nurturing cycle. So I am beginning to nurture myself, and changing things in my life that make me feel negative about myself etc... I got really sick and finally realized that smoking again after quitting so long was…
  • Feel free to add me! I struggle with consistency and sticking with it. I also need the accountability Thanks!
  • I quit smoking 18 months ago. I too have 100 lbs. to lose. Focus on how your breathing is going to improve, and how your smell is going to change(you wont smell like cigarette smoke) and the cough that you do without thinking is going to stop and focus on the positive changes of quitting smoking and getting yourself to a…
