The cigarettes are gone. And I have actually told someone about my wanting to quit. It makes it more real. I CAN DO THIS! If I can keep myself busy, I'll be golden. I think it might be harder when Jim is home, since he's a smoker too. And that's when there will be cigarettes here. But if I tell him that I am quitting, maybe he can keep me accountable! one day at a time, right? Maybe this will help with my weight loss journey too?!

The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins. ~Bob Moawad
