It does take time to relearn life!

Once you stop and think about how many decades you smoked then it only stands to reason that it's bound to take time to relearn life without the crutch I know that at times in those early weeks how EXtremely difficult it is I also remember thinking at times how almost overpowering some of the craves were! Notice that I said almost because as horrid as it was at times I knew that I was going to succeed because of all the reading that I did here and the mantras that I pounded into my head, sometimes through a horrendous crave I'd yell right out loud that I don't do that anymore while giving my head several shakes and I'd do that several times a day because I promised myself the night before quitting smoking that I'd never pick up another cigarette and I never will as long as I stick and we all stick with N.O.P.E and vigilance then there's no way we can Fail and besides Relapsing isn't an option! There's definetly Life after Cigarettes BUT everyone has to go through the rough patches to get to that good place in your quit And I'm Telling  You The Truth When I say Boy Oh Boy It's So Worth it So Worth It To Be FREE!

I'm a proud Gram of 2 grandsons and a granddaughter and I consider myself a jack of all trades and a master of none, plus I enjoy reading and being outside and since quitting smoking breathing is so much easier because I'm not coughing half of my time sucking on a cancer stick....
