Share your quitting journey
I see YoungAtHeart gave me a nudge to get my butt on here and shout out another day of smokefree living....That would be eighty-five, and staying alive!!!!! (corny huh?) Well, it's getting somewhat repetitious now, you have to admit....In ten more days, I will lhave to find another word besides alive...that rhymes with five...lol. That is really a nice problem to have though.....
Yesterday was pretty boring, and you would be right when you wonder if my quit tool box was needed. Even though I know that the quit that I am on is absolutely wonderful for me on all fronts....(healthwise, moneywise, sociably, and emotionally)...and still this nagging never say die addiction raised it's ugly head a couple of times yesterday and tried to get me to imagine what a smoke would taste like....I wouldn't know what a smoke tastes like. Because I have never in my life smoked "a" cigarette....I have smoked a pack of em, and then a carton of em....but NEVER one....
So, I simply got busy doing some other chores around the house, and concentrated on how great I am feeling these days, and saw that my bank account is $1,386 fatter since the 22nd of Sept @ 2 packs per day....($16.50)!!!!! That is my vacation money for this upcoming Christmas.....it also helped take the sting out of the adoption fees for my boys as well. After a few minutes of the positives from not smoking one single puff of nicotine....the urge was dispatched from my brain for the day....
That my friends is why we as addicts must NEVER forget that we have a quit tool kit that is always available. Check on it's contents from time to time, to make sure that all of your tools are still in working order, and that you remember how to use them.....you never know what tool might be the one that saves your quit, (or life for that matter....).
Okay, it's time for football & another petting session......
Enjoy your smokefree Sunday....xoxoxoxo Pops w/85 DOF.
