Hello...

My name is Mary Ann. I'm in recovery from nicotine addiction. By God's grace I've not smoked a cigarette since 12:00 noon, April 27, 2001, and for that I'm grateful. I offer nothing except understanding, support and encouragement to those who are deciding to quit, those who've just made the leap of faith to quit (& may be struggling at the moment), and those who've got a fair chunk of smokefreedom under their belts.

As has been said many times before, we're (all of us, no matter our smoking/smokefree status) regular folks who want to help each other kick nic(otine)'s bony butt to the curb.

I hope this blog will be a productive endeavor for all who want to be smokefree. No specific method or means of quitting will be emphasized more than another. Everybody's different. What we'll share here (in a spirit of friendship, civility, support and encouragement) is simply our experience, strength, and hope...much like happens at Alcoholics Anonymous. This means we are not here to judge one another.

--Still a Grateful Quitter--Mary Ann
