I thought I would pop back in and say hi! I'm still smoke free, and still love my freedom...and don't miss being a slave to cigarettes!

I was thinking the other day that I kind of miss my first days (weeks, months) of my journey to becoming a non-smoker. All was so new then...so exciting. I was fortunate that I really didn't have strong cravings...just little urges that passed quickly. I loved that every experience was new...like riding in a car for the first time in 30+ years and not smoking, and on and on! It was so exciting! I had more confidence than I had ever had in my life! I felt (as a smoker) that people looked down on me because I smoked...now I don't have that. I still have that confidence...don't get me wrong! I'm the happiest I have ever been in my life. I never realized how much smoking drug me down into the pit of despare!

 

Smoking is now a thing of the past, something I'll never do again. The smell walking past a person smoking still doesn't bother me, doesn't even phase me, but WOW smelling it ON someone (their cloths).....ewwww!! I just encourage everyone to just hang in there if they're struggling. Being a non-smoker is so worth it. The freedom is priceless, and the money you save is amazing! Stop making excusing as to why you can't quit today, just do it!!

 

908 Days smoke free, and looking forward to a smoke free tomorrow!
