I wanted to start this off by saying "Mission Accomplished!" but visions of George Bush started swamping my mind and what a failure that was. Anyway I really wanted to quit smoking before I turned 30 and well guess what. I did it. Today is my 30th bday and I have been nicotine free since April 1st, 2011. I was feeling kinda crappy about turning 30 but just realized that I had set a goal for myself and I managed to achieve that goal in the time period that I had alloted for it. I had been telling myself for several years now that I'd quit before turning 30 and I did it and you know what? I still have a long ways to go, but this was one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life and it feels really damn good to be able to say I set a goal for myself, I didn't back down from it, and I nailed it!
