Skeletons in the closet....

Okay, So you all know I have been saying that I had some new years ressies... Well they are not really New Year ressies, but more of a skeleton in the closet or confessions... I figured that I would come clean and tell everyone so it would make me more accountable for my actions.. This is very hard for me to do because most of you dont even know this about me.

Dont worry I have not like been to prison or kidnapped someone or anything..

This week marks 6 months that I have not had a cigarette...Ok you can close your mouth now.....

I can say that I was not a person that had to have a cigarette every day or had to have a smoke break at work or anything. I was more of a social smoker. I smoked when I was with friends or what not. Everyone that I am around is a smoker so its kinda hard not to do it too. However, I have not had 1 at ALL since Aug.

That is where Teresa comes in.. She came to my house back in August and brought the kids and stayed the night with us. Well, her kids did not know I smoked so I decided to not smoke while she was here and never picked up another one.

I told myself that I would not say anything until I reached the 6 month mark.. So here it is. I am doing this for myself more than anything. I want to make myself more accountable and I figured that if everyone knew about my little skeleton I would be less likely to ever do it again.

I would now like to tell all the other smokers out there reading this and you know who you are.... I have never felt better, I can breath better, I HATE the smell of cigarettes and can not believe I ever may have smelled that way..

I am begging Chance to quit.. He says he will when he is on vacation the first week in February. I am keeping my fingers crossed...

OK, so you ALL know my little secret..
Please dont judge me :)

I am so hurt because I thought that I knew everything about you. You didn't smell like cigs - so I had no clue. So what else are you hiding?

I really think I already knew this a while back. I have a lot of friends that our social smokers.
You have nothing to be ashamed of. No judging here.
Good for you for stopping! You go girl!

Hey I wanted to add I didn't mean when I said I thought I knew about you smoking, b/c you smelled like smoke. You did not smell like smoke at all. You hid it very well. Well anyways. Very proud of you!
