“Precious”,
That’s what I call my quit.
In the beginning no matter what day I was on
It never seemed to be quite enough
Some days were easy, others could be tough
But I made up my mind I was never going to give up
Now I won't take my Precious quit for granted
Or NEF (never ever forget) why, when, where and how it started
I never envisioned this Precious quit,
Mostly one day at a time, then weeks, months then years.
The Precious thoughts of freedom can easily bring joyous tears.
As I get closer to 1000, I know I never ever want to start again
Looking at this number it seems to really connect
That I have learned to protect my Precious quit.
No matter what, when, where, how or who
My Precious quit I will not lose.
Looking forward to 1000 day milestone….
Quad Squad has caused me to reflect.
I truly, love, appreciate and truly grateful for my Precious Quit.
PS Never give up, never give in. Hang tough. The best is yet to come.
Precious is definitely the right word for your quit it's precious indeed Jackie and you'll be a joyous member of the Quad Squad club very soon, yay you and yay for all of us Exers because we know that life is grand without a cigarette in hand.
This isn't being selfish, this is being proud of what you've accomplish so far. And thank you for your thoughts, and thank you for your precious quit, which is such inspiration for all of us!
Onto the next milestone you go!
Isn't it a little funny that so many of us are looking at our own quit today and being proud of what we've done: Yaya, Marilyn, Trudy, you, myself...and I am sure I'm forgetting someone.
And I think these self reflections published for all to see, become heavy tools in any of our beginner quitters, or so I hope!
Good for all of us out there who barely started, are being challenged in NML, are hitting milestones, or are here to support quitting smoking!
Thank you Jackie for your inspiring poem!
Yes, I guess we are at a point where we appreciate where we have come from. Amazing is a good word. Congratulations to you too
So funny Jackie we are of the same frame of mind today I just posted about my days won on Marilyn's Marilyn.H.July.14.14. blog and being just over half way to the Quad Squad !
Nice poem Jackie ! Our quits should be very precious to us, after all it took years to get here and quite a bit of commitment and discipline...... in other words we worked our quits ! Yay !
Yes our quits are precious - and so are you Jackie! Thanks for all you do to help others! Nice poem!
Indeed our quits are very.....
It is rather ironic that the focus is on where we have come from with our quits. Vigilant
