Quit smoking, although i wouldn't say it was "simple".

I listened to my heart and started a relationship with my best friend - I always hid my feelings because I was hurt real bad from another boyfriend a few years ago. He told me repeadely that he had feelings for me but I always pushed him away. I finally opened up and realized that I love him. We have been together since december and this simple change of heart for me- makes my heart beat like it never did before.

I quit smoking in 1991 and have never looked back. I know it was one of the best, yet one of the hardest, things I've ever done.

My ex-husband divorced me after 22 years of marriage for his pregnant g/f. If he had not done that I would have gone on thinking we were happily married and I would still be trapped in that farce of a marriage--instead I started dating and found my way to the BDSM lifestyle and only wish I had found it 30 years ago!!! I'm having a wonderful time in my new life! So I guess the ex's cheating ended up being a positive thing.
