They are Gone, It's Over

I don't have to search to find where I left them. Or hunt for a lighter that I just had in my hand that I lost.  I don't have to run to the store in the middle of the night to buy a pack.  I don't have to worry about how I smell,  I don't have to worry about my gray hair being yellow.  I dont have to spend the coins out of my money jar.  I don't have to breathe in that smoke and wondering why I am doing it.  I don't have to hide them when company comes.  No more  constantly spraying air freshners and burning scented candles and spraying myself and my clothes to make sure there is no permanent odor. Washing my hands so not to smell it. Its over. I am free.  No more rituals of having to have one at a certain time or place.  Each day I am learning to live without them. Finally It's over.

Lay aside every weight that may be slowing you down. Make up your mind not to allow doubt cause you to stumble. You can do this! Do not allow fear , False Expectations Appearing Real to hold you down. You can do this! Break the chains of addiction, forgive yourself for ever smoking. move forward and start loving yourself more each day by staying smokefree. Put aside worry, anxiety, depression, any EXcuse that you would use to not get in or stay in the race of freedom. Take one day at a time, one step if necessary. Run the race diligently, steady and sure with endurance. Believe that you can. Keep your eye on the prize. Hang tough, stay close, be mindful, never give in, never give up.
