Spring has sprung!

Some Exes entering the first or second years of the changing of the seasons might find themselves doing a bit of pining about the "good old days." You know - sitting on the deck after weeding a flower bed, or mowing the grass with a cold drink and a smoke?  Expect it - it takes two years of those associations to pass before that trigger seems to fade. 

Remember - just because you think about it doesn't mean you have to act upon it.  Remind yourself that you don't DO that anymore....and maybe find a good substitute.  I stopped drinking sodas - so now reward myself with a Pepsi with crushed ice for those times. 

Stay vigilant, my friends!

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.
