Dear Self.....

I just read a past post of mine from December 7, 2017. 

It was titled "Self" 

Here it is February 2, 2020, so I thought I would touch base with myself again.....

Dear Self,  you're really rockin your quit...after all, you wrote that last one about 51 days into your quit, and here you are 2 years and 138 days later....still a quitter!

Your new friends here supported you, and reminded you not to let your guard down, because no matter what, the nic demon would try to coax you back to your old addiction from time to time, and they were right! 

Recently, you have walked in to rooms and swear you could smell the old fresh smell of just lighting up....

It's a good thing you truly never want to go back to being a slave to nicotine! 

You've come a long way since you quit, you've faced battles of stress, but your determination was strong, you chose freedom over slavery! You are proud and you are happier as a quitter than you were as a smoker! 

The amount of money you have saved is amazing, and you get more things done in a day than ever before! 

Determination and one smoke free day at a time got you where you are today! Keep on rockin it! I'll be in touch with you again soon! Take good care of your"self"!

About the Author
I'm an active 55 year old woman, who loves hanging with my family. I have 5 children 2 of them married, and 4 grand children. They are all my whole world. UPDATE 8/21/23 Now 61 years and have 2 more grandsons to add to the crew! My hobbies are bike riding, golfing, bowling, kayaking, painting (canvas or rocks) and gardening (getting the hang of it finally) I have smoked since I was 13 yrs old, and quit one time within the last ten years for a total of 9 months. Stress took me back to smoking. My life has been stress free for the last couple of years. Divorced for 2 years now, but back together with my Ex (husband) for a year now. It's time, I'm ready, and I quit! So far it's been pretty easy, so I'm very optimistic about this being my final quit! Thanks in advance for all the support! 2023 - Update: I now have 2 more grandbabies for a total of 6 and still smoke free! They will never get to know me as a smoker!!!!!!
