I AM FREE...

[newlife5]

hello, ex friends,

today i wish to give some encouragement... i have been quit for 3 years and 3 months... i think.

anyway... i have been quitting with the help of this site since 2010,  a long time..

but then i smoked for 43 years so i guess if you live a life style and decide to change it it takes time...so dont give up,..

last week i went through a very tough week. for some reason i wanted a cigarette,.. so bad, everywhere i looked i found one..so i did the reasonable thing..instead of fighting it i acknowledged it,. i took a deep breath and exhaled very slowly while gathering my thoughts... i told myself yes, i do want one, i can admitt that.. but i doNOT want all the ones that will follow it...

i closed my eyes and relaxed, and remembered all that i learned from this site... i got a glass of water, and told myself this feeling will pass....

i worked too hard to ruin this,... i am free,..this addiction will not drag me back to dependence...

so i waited,... and it passed... I DID IT I AM VICTORIOUS!....

thank you become an ex, dale, G,shawn, brenda terri,tommy,thomas, diane joy, teddy, storm,nancy,and so many more,i could spend hours just typing all the names of the people who have helped me here believe me you are not forgotten.. you all are very much appreciated...thank you
