11 years later

Here I am 11 years later after quitting smoking. Something I never thought I would be capable of doing!

So many things changed in my life after I quit... 

1.  I could run up a flight of steps without losing my breath

2.  I changed the course of my life

3.  decided to assist in losing the weight I had gained and began running

4.  Could keep up with my young kids

5.  Did something nobody else thought I could, including myself!

6.  Inspired my brother to quit, though he died 8 months later

7.  I'm stronger because this change made me make other changes

8.  I found a new love for dum dum suckers and peppermints!

9.  my house and car stayed cleaner longer

10.  no more standing out in the cold to smoke
