I smoked for 40+ years of my life. 3 years ago today I started my journey, probably the hardest thing I've tried to do. My journey started out as a Lenten promise. I figured I could make it 40 days but on day 2 I thought why the hell am I doing this !!!! But I took it one day at a time, believe me, more days than not, I wanted to just give up but I'm too stubborn !!! To make a long story short, Easter came and my Lenten obligation was over, finally. But something clicked inside me and thought let's see if I can go one more day and then another day and another and, well, here I am 3 years later !!!!! It hasn't all been easy, I still have days I struggle but they are few and far between. I'm not here to give advice but to encourage any one who is starting their journey or struggling. It is hard but don't give up. One day something will click inside of you and you ,too, will realize it's the greatest decision you could have made !!
One last but very important thought......To everyone on this sight who have helped me through my journey, the elders, my fellow March quitters and everyone who just listened to me rant and rave sometimes, a HUGE THANK YOU !
Have a great day everyone, I know I will
Julie
