Look around... You are a nonsmoker now.   Everything seems brighter now.  Be proud and pat yourself on the back.  You have made it!   What a wonderful feeling.  Your health and stamina have improved.  You are starting to see the benefits of not smoking.  No more stinking ashtrays around or hunting for a lighter.  The time used smoking is used differently now.  Oh my, the smell is no longer in your hair. You feel beautiful.  You can breathe better.  No more hiding and covering-up.  You have arrived.  Even the dull yellow finish on your fingernails has disappeared and food taste like it never had before.  You can really smell now.   Ahh, breathe.   Bottom line you no longer have to focus on getting a "fix". 

Celebrate your success.  You can hardly believe that the thoughts of smoking have become a flicker. Sure it took some time and hard work to get here but the benefits outweigh the challenges.  You have arrived!  YES,  You did it!  You are thankful that you did not give up. Whoo Hoo!   When the going got tough you stayed the course. Congratulations. Even when the withdrawal at times, literally drained you, you survived. Yes, all of the mentioned is EXcellent but...NEF (never ever forget)  the LAW!   Know it for yourself.  Protect your quit.  It is your own.  Don't lose it. 

What are you going to do to protect your quit?  Answer...NOPE

  The Law of Addiction

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.

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.
