I was thinking how happy I am that I no longer smoke. I was reflecting on how unhappy I was, before I quit. I was so tired of smoking. I was literally disgusted by it. As time had progressed I was smoking more each day. I was up to at least 10 or more cigarettes a day. Not a lot compared to others but still a lot for me and it was getting worse. Thank God I was able to cross the line to freedom and not go back. Taking that step to freedom was like becoming a new person, shedding the shame of being a smoker. A load lifted from my chest, my mind, and my heart. No more nicotine!, I knew I was done, nothing was going to stop me. With the help of this communty I have been successful and I am very pleased with myself. I do not miss smoking. Each day it gets better.
These are the words that come to my mind when I think about where I started and where I am today @ 108.days .. I know I am going the distance. It is amazing, brings so much joy, peace, quiet, calm, relief, happiness, strength, faith, dignity, self confidence, determination, acceptance, satisfaction, courage, committment, willingness, forgiveness, honesty, belief, trust, patience, support, friendship, self-talk, health, wisdom, awareness, knowledge, sacrifice, growth. What are your words of Freedom? God Bless you all for your support. Even you Dale (lol) side joke.
