Tammy's Quit Story
Tammy is a no-nonsense kind of person and a fun live-wire. You can count on her to shoot from the hip and tell it like it is, something she does beautifully and with loads of heart. Her sense of humor is part of what we all love about her and her sense of commitment to the mission of this forum community is second to none.
From Tammy's Quit Story:
- "I was serious about quitting back in the summer of 2001. My husband had quit smoking about a year before this, and I was sneaking around to smoke because he would gripe at me if he saw me. I thought I was doing such a great job at hiding my nasty habit. Who was I fooling? Only myself. No one could smell them on me. I didn’t stink. My tongue was its natural color. Aren’t everyone’s teeth just a wee bit yellow? That yellow indention between my fingers was from holding a pencil. Wow, I had an excuse for everything. Then, in September of 2001 my daughter passed away, the day before her 24th birthday. I was devastated. I didn’t care about anything at this moment. The first thing I did was send someone to the store for cigarettes..."
