(Precious)

“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.

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!

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 !

It is rather ironic that the focus is on where we have come from with our quits.  Vigilant
