237 Days of Freedom

Sometimes there is so much to say and not enough words to express.  I am 237 days free from nicotine.   I wanted to quit so badly that I was willing to do whatever it took to be smoke free.  With the help of this community I have been successful.   I am thankful to be a part of this wonderful group.  I wish everyone the best.  Those who are sick I pray for your healing and recovery.

The first three days were grinding, (don't want to do that anymore)

 With your help two- three weeks was "doable" new word for me.  Got it from  (Marilyn, Nancy, Guilia)

 Staying close to the site made 1-2 months okay,

 Not giving up: 3 months had to work it sometimes as if it was the first day,

stayed focus and 4 months back to sailing,  

5 months learned to deal with stress I am okay,

6 months celebration was a great day,

7 months I took in stride with a lot of pride,

8 months in a few days now it's about making  healthy choices, being happy and staying alive.   

 For me SINAO (Smoking is not an option)

My Mantra: Not in my hands, not on my lips, not in my mouth, not on my tongue, not in my lungs, not in my throat, not in my nose, not in my clothes.  Good night everybody.  Good night John Boy, Good night DJ...where is DJ
