That is 740 cigarettes not smoked; looks good and $222.00 Saved looks even better. Feels the best. Through this journey I have had concerns about situations that would set off triggers. Family members illnesses, problems, deaths, disagreements, life's unexpected, nerves etc. (you name it). Today as a I reflect, some of these situations have come and I have not smoked. No excuses, no illusions. Today is another day under my belt, I have been caring for a very sick relative in my home. I will not smoke, I don't have to. I have too much to loose. My life, my health, my dignity, my freedom, my quit. I will never ever allow myself to be trapped by this addiction. My daddy says "never say never", but today I say never on my lips, never in my hand, in my lungs, on my tongue, in my nose, in my clothes. I now know there is no reason to take that "one puff." That one puff could be deadly.
I am thankful that I can walk past a smoker and say to myself "I don't do that anymore." Not bragging but I am thankful that I have not developed any type of breathing disease after smoking cigarettes long term. I am thankful to be working towards a healthier lifestyle. I am proud of me and tooting my own horn. Toot! Toot! Enough was enough for me.
How about you? Have you had enough and are you willing never to "pick up." (that's what an addict says) again. Blow your horn and TOOT! Have a smoke free day. I am enjoying my morning coffee WITHOUT a cigarette. I am a non smoker.
