Newly Discovered!

I was astonished to discover that during this trip to the mountains, I was able to sit by the fire, do crosswords, read a book, and simply enjoy the fire. In my past visits when I was a smoker, I could not sit still – literally. Looking back, I pinpointed the fact that when I was a smoker, I was ALWAYS waiting, subconsciously, to have that next cigarette. You are never comfortable in your own skin when you are a smoker.

This is the REAL freedom – when you realize how much smoking controlled your life! This takes time to see clearly. But – it is SO worth the time it takes to unlearn this!

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.
