Happy New Year and farewell to a 10 year habit

Happy New Year to all! I hope the new year brings you a lot of joy, happiness and great beginings. The girls and I started this New Year out with bowling a few games today with a friend. It was a lot of fun, and the girls are getting really good at it. Faith is so much stronger than I thought she was! Tonight is going to be a movie and probably an early bedtime. We are all pooped. No big plans for us. Just hopes for a great and blessed New Year. As I start this New Year, I am hoping to succeed in giving up my 10 1/2 year habit of smoking. I started a few weeks ago of taking medicine to start quitting and tomorrow is my day to give it all up. I think for the first time in all of my attempts to quit, this is going to be my succesful one. I never took a prescription drug to quit before, but this one is working so far, I have gone from a pack and a half to about 4 or 5 a day and could easily do less than that. I am really excited about this and feel very good about this. Just wanted to share this. For the first time in a year, I actually feel that I can handle all of this without a secondary habit, and that I can beat this habit just as Joel always wanted me to. Wish me luck!
