The 4.5 Month #BreakItOff Update

It’s been about 4 and a half months since I had my last cigarette on January 28th. And while it is easier each day not to want one and find one and have one, I still get cravings and urges from time to time. I’ve mentioned on Twitter that I get cravings when I see […]

Being 30 – The 2 Month Update

Alright, it’s been just over 2 months since my 30th birthday and I figured that I would stop in with a little update for everyone. Being 30 really hasn’t been much different than any other age so far. I am finding that I am continuing to improve in my ability to mellow out and step […]

February 2012 – The Wrap-Up #BreakItOff

February is drawing to a close and I inspired myself with my facebook status to do a little month end wrap-up. Here are some of things that I did in February 2012. Celebrated my 30th birthday. Celebrated Valentine’s Day. Went to my first Canadian International Auto Show. Skated for the first time in 2012. Blogged. […]

28 Days Later… Smoke Free With #BreakItOff

Hey y’all. It’s a milestone day… at least I’m calling it a milestone. As of today I am smoke free for 28 days. That’s 4 full weeks. That’s about 16 packs not bought. That’s about 400 cigarettes dumped. That’s over $125 saved. That’s pretty awesome. Again I want to thank everyone who has supported me […]

My Thrive Gum Review – Chew, Chew, Stop

So this morning someone searched “Thrive Gum Review” and landed on the blog. It was a little weird since I’m pretty sure I only mentioned it once. But at the same time I understand that I’ve been talking about the whole non-smoking thing a lot so I shouldn’t be all that surprised. So, even though […]

Down With Cigarettes, Bring On The Pancakes!

Day 19… that’s almost 3 weeks since I last had a cigarette. Here are some of the things that I have learned. I have more money in my pocket. I know, it sounds logical when you break it down. But for a long time I’ve spent cash and used my debit card to buy cigarettes […]

I Choose Me…

I Choose Me… maybe the 2nd most famous and potent lines from 90210 – right behind May The Bridges I Burn Light The Way. It’s a classic moment when Kelly has to make up her mind about Dylan and Brandon. It’s the heart wrenching conclusion to years of wonder. It’s the peak of the first […]

A #BreakItOff Day 11 Presentation!

#BreakItOff Day 7 – It’s Getting Easier & Thank You!

What up kids? Just wanted to stop in and let you know that hard things can be done and can be made a lot easier with the support and love of friends and family. I’m on day 7 of the non-smoking and I feel better than I have so far in my nicotine free week. […]

So Far So Good… 6 Days In. #BreakItOff

Hey y’all.  It’s day 6 of my non-smoking and things are starting to look up. I didn’t feel like I was on the brink of emotional break down. I only had 1 headache. I even made a new video.  Since I gave up on the cigarettes I’ve noticed that I have more energy in the […]

I’m Craving and It’s Complicated #BreakItOff

This whole quitting smoking thing is complicated. There are so many stop smoking aids these days that I don’t really know what to do. I’ve heard a ton of great things about Allen Carr’s book but I haven’t had my hands on it yet. I picked up a pack of Thrive nicotine gum yesterday at […]

2012 And A Better Me

I’ve been thinking a bunch over the last few days. You see, I worked hard at making 2011 a year of Silver Linings and Awesome. And now we have a new year and it’s time to start working at a new goal. I’m thinking… be a better me. It’s vague (which I like) and it’s […]

#BreakItOff – The Beginning

Hey y’all. Happy Saturday from my little corner of the world. In case you didn’t see it on the Twitter or Facebook I have some news to share. I’m quitting the whole smoking thing. Yup. I know that I’ve said it before. Heck I even blogged it before. But this time I think I have […]
