I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 307 days now. It should have been over 1000.....if I were smarter it should have been my whole life. But it is what it is and I'm happy with my 307 🙂
When I made the decision that this was it and I was done smoking, I also made the decision that I had put my family through enough with my smoking....I wasn't going to put them through hell with my quit as well. So I not only put together my "quit kit", I also put together my happiness journal so I could make this quit..well....happy.
Don't get me wrong, I still had moments of "Ugh!" but rather than moan to my family about how hard this was, I joked with them, I laughed with them, and I made sure that they were more important than wanting a cigarette. Now, along with my 300+ days, my family and I have wonderful memories of my early quit days,
No, this isn't advice for others. I don't give advice. I'm simply reflecting on 300+ days of love, laughter, and healing. What a wonderful life I have!!
Have a very blessed day, my friends!
