One Year Later...

Friday May 16, 2008
For many of us, the habit of smoking was so overpowering and enslaving that breaking free of it brings on a re-birth of sorts. We emerge from the ashes of nicotine addiction changed, often in profound ways. Terri's quit story is a beautiful example of this transformation, and her words are sure to inspire you.

From Terri:

    "I've attempted to stop smoking numerous times during the last 30 years. Some periods of smoking cessation were fairly long -- 6 years, 2 years, 10 months, 6 months. But, during each of those quit attempts, I never thought that I was really finished with smoking. I felt like a smoker who was not smoking."
