Keeping This New Year Resolution to Stay Smoke-Free

Here we are again. I can’t believe how fast this year has flown by! Things are great. I am single again but happy! I am healthy; have a fantastic group of girlfriends (me? YES), the most amazing parents, and a celeb dog; I’m making changes in this world one day at a time; and I have a brand new home! It is almost the New Year and a time to continue to make good changes, reset my battery and shed unwanted people, things, and bad habits from my life. I try not to wait until the New Year to rid myself of the less desirable things I have picked up along the way, but it happens. We all have bad habits. It could be a dud boyfriend (I have had MANY), toxic friends (I am still a flytrap for stupid people but working on it), spending too much time on social media (guilty) or drinking too much soda (Diet Coke- still love you but you don’t love my tush or tummy). New Year’s Resolutions come in all different shapes and sizes. They might be small goals (like updating Teddy Brewski on Instagram every single day), but they could be really big too, like going to the gym 5 days a week and drinking my protein shakes religiously, or quitting smoking. That is ok. Anything is possible and what better time than during the holiday to make these changes?

Keeping This New Year Resolution: a.k.a. Quit Season Time

I workout! HA!

So, what will you do to achieve your New Year Resolution and conquer this “Quit Season”? What is your New Year Resolution? Well, we all know I took September to make it my SELFtember. I gave myself a gift to get happy, healthy, fit and celebrate conquering my goal of putting down the cigarettes and putting on an itsy bitsy, teenie weenie, yellow polka-dot bikini so I could ride my big yellow duck into the New Year. It was and has not been easy.

    I’d love to quit smoking, tried with the patches, and my skin is too sensative, burns like crazy, gum doesn’t seem to work either, not sure what else to try as cold turkey is well hard as ever..but I would definitely love to quit.

    I have tried to quit on my own and that’s not working, I need to try something else. I will quit!!! Happy I came here, learned lots. Thank you. #SweepstakesEntry

    I’m a smoker and would love to quit, but for me, it’s more so that I smoke out of boredom, rather than the need for nicotine. I need to find some pen caps to chew on or something, that’s something I stopped doing when I started smoking so I’m sure it would help with the quitting.

    This Quit Season, I am going to conquer eating too much processed food and sugar.
