Where my story begins...

I am new to this blogging thing, but here is my best shot at "Writing My Story".
I won't go back too far to bore you, so I will start at one of my biggest accomplishments....quitting smoking. It was definitely not the easiest thing to do, I really didn't think I could do it.  I loved ciggies and that was my getaway.  I had 5 minutes to myself to be in my own little world, where nobody could bother me.  I loved it.  But enough was enough.  I had a beautiful little girl who would always ask why I smoked cigarettes, and she eventually started mimicking me and pretended she was smoking. 


Since this is the boring stuff I will just get down to it.  ~Short Sweet  to the Point~


There was a smoking cessation program where I had a chance of having a stop smoking aid paid for, so what the heck. I was all for it.  After my consult I picked a folder, and as luck would have it my "aid" was not going to be covered.  But I have come this far so I figured I would just continue.


Champix was my drug of choice.  Many people have had great success with it.  So I gave it an honest try, and I did it.  I did it all by myself.....well sort of..... It would seem I replaced cigarettes with food.  Food of any kind, it didn't matter I had to be eating something.  My clothes started shrinking, and I was eventually trying to "sausage" my self into them.  Not pretty!! No joke!  I finally got my eating habits under control and Bingo, I was pregnant with my 2nd child. 


I guess this is chapter 1 in the beginning stages of my story.  Stay tuned the juicy stuff is next.
