Repost - Walk Proudly Quitters

I have been asked by some here to repost some of my older blogs for the newly quit who may not have seen them the first time.....so here we go!

I still enjoy the smell of the smoke from a cigarette being smoked outside.  When I spot (or smell) someone smoking outside, I will often walk towards them for a brief sniff.  I always explain what I am doing and why I am doing it as I approach them.   It is interesting to me that 100% of the time, these smokers ask me to tell them how I quit, and they literally hang on EVERY word of advice.  We HAVE what these people WANT!  Let's not lose sight of our accomplishments.

Instead of being the downtrodden underclass, the scorned of society, we quitters have become the shining examples to be emulated!  How cool is THIS?  

Walk proudly, quitters!

I smoked until a vascular surgeon informed me of the damage I had done to myself by doing so. I quit 11 years ago, and I can swim laps virtually FOREVER now, walk most other days 40 minutes to an hour and a half. What a difference quitting has made in my life! I strive to help others find this wonderful freedom from addiction, too.
