Keep moving forward in your quits and look forward to the day which shouldn't be too far off that you will be smiling and thinking wow why did it take so long to realize all of the benefits of quitting smoking. I know that's how I felt when I finally wised up and tossed the yakies ( cigarettes ) away and plowed through the first couple of months or longer barely treading water because I was battling remaining smoke free, nobody wanted to be around me because I was on a roller coaster of ups and downs and nasty as hell at least that's what I'm told and it's probably true. The only people I wasn't grumpy with were the grandchildren because they still wanted to come over which actually made me feel good about me by quitting smoking I was hoping to be around to watch them grow up and with the copd, I knew I had to take back my life, I didn't want to end up on oxygen 7 / 24 or even worse die a slow painful death that's most likely smoking related, I didn't want to do that to my family especially the grandkids. I wanted to be around to watch Adam, Emma and Mason grow up, a week from today I will be smiling from ear to ear and reaping the benefits of 2 yrs of being an Ex smoker so continue on the journey of life because there's definitely life after cigarettes and it's super fantastic , as long as we apply N.O.P.E - Not One Puff Ever which will give us a beautiful life of freedom because S.I.N.A.O - Smoking Is Not An Option, let's - N.E.F - Never Ever Forget the early days of our quits because there's nothing worth smoking over ,let's protect our quits because our lives depends on remaining smoke free.
