Second, there is more to life than work and balance includes knowing what your purpose in life is. All of us as we get older start to feel our mortality and wonder if this is "all" there is to life. Finding a church that you can connect with is really important and remember what you put in is what you will get out of it. Also, an incredible book is "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren. It has sold over 30 million copies. I just recently re-read it. Thanks for sharing with us what is going on in your life. I will keep you in my prayers. Mark Hey Lynn,

I'm impressed with your strong determination. This is really a tough thing to quit. However to overcome vices can be a great achievement. This simply show that mind is more powerful over matter. Nice experience here. I get a lot of good points to ponder upon. Hi Lynn. I’m impressed with your strong determination. This is really a tough thing to quit.

I was a 3 pack a day, 25 year smoker and it took a health concern to finally, finally make the change. Did I go a bit crazy? I don't know because I tend to believe I am a bit off the beam anyway. LOL Seriously, it was one of the best choices I made. And I love your transparency. Obsessive? Most definitely. You are spot on when you say it is a major reason you are so successful. Balance is an ongoing balancing act. One that takes commitment, awareness and support through insights from those in our life who can help us stay the path. See you in Atlanta. Looking forward to hanging out in the "no smoking" area. Rock on my friend! I was a 3 pack a day, 25 year smoker and it took a health concern to finally, finally make the change.

Congratulations Lynn! That is quite an accomplishment. Thank you for sharing those encouraging words as well. I find that while I'm usually "let's go get 'em" I'm still new to the "game" and not really seeing any return has me feeling a bit, down about it, but nothing worth doing is ever always easy and I will continue :) First thing.

It wasn't till recently in the past year I really thought of quitting. Why my COPD was gathering steam. I used the patches but with little relieve. My brother-law is a pathologist at a major medical institute and has tried for years to get me to quit. Even showing me the end result of the lungs that have been destroyed by smoke. And yes nicotine is as bad a certain other drugs namely ocaine to quit from. Proven in medical trials, however it also pointed with clear evidence that if you can get past 8 weeks, the hill is in your favor. Further, this study also has been concluded by other medical schools as well. I will put a serious effort in it again as soon as our son is set (ex US Army Ranger,who suffers PTSD and TBI. I wish you all the success in the world cause it is hard as h*l. I'll be thinking of you. In so many ways the last 5 years have been the hardest in my life!

You really miss the nicotine. Try some nicotine gums or something to keep you focused. I am really happy for everyone that stops smoking. It is just the such a pointless thing to smoke. lol 3 hours to get ready :) . You really miss the nicotine. Try some nicotine gums or something to keep you focused.

Sometimes you can be unhappy, but still "comfortable". It takes strength to take a step outside that comfort zone and improve your life for the better, even though you know you'll come across some hardships along the way.

I agree with one of the earlier posters - that it is brave to show that you are not the superwoman we assume you to be. And to post about it in a way that shows us that we all need to get out of our comfort zone to move to the next stage. Just wish my hubby had your will power!

People Pretending to be Perfect is boring and outdated. Most of us out here are struggling with something or things, and we appreciate knowing we're not alone. I think the new heroes are vulnerable and open about their struggles. You're definitely a hero in my book. Lynn, I so appreciate your willingness to be real.

There are over 200 ingredients in cigarettes most of which are there to enhance the addiction properties of nicotine. When I quit I used the patches. They provide a small continual dose of nicotine and will eliminate the symptoms you are feeling. The patches come in three steps with each step having a smaller dose by way of a smaller size. I quite with the help of the patches and from day 1 never had any discomfort. FYI Bob What you are experiencing is narcotic (nicotine) withdrawal.

Really lovely comments as well. You have achieved such a lot Lynn and once you have emerged from this time you will be even stronger...and smoke free, Yay :-) Best wishes and thanks for the post.

This entire process you talk about is what started Decluttering for Dollars and the resulting Amazon Seller Secrets book. It's very empowering to have less. As I get rid of something (and that can be anything from a tangible object to an attitude) I make way for something new in my life. I had to do this to stop my downward spiral. Just know that you're not alone, keep the faith, and enjoy the ride. There is a purpose behind it. [big hug] Been there, doing that now, don’t want to clutter my life with a t-shirt!!
