Lost my blue line 😭 

It will be worth it 👍 

Thanks schmetterlinge34 ✨ 

One battle at a time is sometimes enough, you will beat both 

Giving up smoking is well worth giving up the blue line for a little while. 

Hang in there Crystaljo74 you will win this battle.  

Fresh air ... Crystal ... 🤗 ... 

Slow and steady wins the race - 

Keep doing what you’re doing… you will get there!! One battle at a time!! 

Clean fresh air Crystal 🤗 We're here for you  

Congratulations to winning the battle against cigarettes first of all! That's something big! You're strong! Now continue with the other battles. We all believe in you. 💪💕👍🏻😊 

Congratulations on quitting smoking! How long has it been now? I know this is still fairly new for you. Don't try to put too much on yourself at once. 

Keep moving forward and remember, your body/ mind is trying to replace the cigarette craving with something else. It will get better, just be aware of what's going into your body..🙏💜 

Keep on pushing forward. You got this! 

That's ok and temporary - When you feel comfortable that you've kicked the smoking thing, then you can refocus on your food. You got this!  

Thank you all for your moral support💙 My 'Quit Date' for smokes was Dec. 1st. The problem is...that when I felt like snacking (in the past) I'd go have a smoke instead. I'm experimenting with different strategies to substitute for both snacking/smoking...I'd appreciate any suggestions 🤗💪🙏 

BTW...I haven't 'slipped' even once. I have a sticky note up that says N.O.P.E. = Not One Puff Even/Ever 

👍 N.O.P.E. Toss the ashtrays. If you have one in the car, put money in it. Try one of those exercise balls to keep your hands busy (strengthens fingers, too). Make a list of all the crap in cigarettes that get stuck in your lungs. (I don't mean to be harsh Crystal, I want you to live long and happy enjoying your family) :-) 

Congratulations on quitting! Go you!💪 Things will even out, you're getting healthy now. Be kind to yourself. You're an inspiration! 

it's totally worth it though. the $$$ you'll save and your clothes won't smell. I quit years ago. never better!
