80 days

Last night I was reading some of my old blogs so not to forget where I started.  I think we can become detached to all the feelings we went through in the very beginning.  Today I feel pretty good.  80 days I have saved $240.00  and have not smoked at least 800 cigarettes. The numbers are okay but not my main focus.  It is about my health, life and the quality of living.  You can not put a number on that.  The fact is that I have quit for all the times I said I would and didn't.  Thank God I have arrived.

 I am still training for my 5K on April 25th.  These last few days I have been working in the yard, enjoying the smell of flowers and fresh cut grass,    This is where and when I smoked before, between and after a task.. The association is still there but I know that I am not going to smoke so I focus more on what I am doing. Everything is looking good so far,  It feels good to be outdoors to really breathe and not smoke. .  I will be planting my garden this week.  I can hardly wait. This is my fun time of the year.  You all have a great smoke free day.  I am a non smoker.  I am FREE Thanks Ex team for all of your help.  See youi later, off to get more mulch.
