Thirty days smoke free today—and what a journey it’s been. From the moment I made that life-changing decision to spend all my cigarette money on a booth at the LA Times Book Fair, everything started to shift. What began as a financial choice quickly became a health revolution.
There were anxiety spikes, panic attacks, and those brutal first days of withdrawal that made me question whether I could actually do this. But I did. I went cold turkey, and I made it through—one craving, one breath, one day at a time.
To my friends who’ve cheered me on, thank you. Your support has been a huge part of this victory. Today I celebrated with a Baskin Robbins milkshake (because if you can’t reward yourself with a smoke, ice cream will do just fine).
If you’ve followed my journey, I’d love for you to take a look at the art, music, and books featured throughout this blog and my website. That’s how I fund this creative and smoke-free adventure. The payoff is not just in sales—it’s in health, hope, and a shared reminder that we got this.
