Wow! So much has changed over the last 3 years. I didn't realize how long it had been since I checked in, nor how long it had been since I had smoked my last cigarette. I am amazed, and in awe that this has been possible. It has been possible due to the support of my family and my ex-family that went through my trials here. You heard me rant, rave, cry, spew forth all kinds of emotions, but you did NOT hear me light up! It has been over 3 years....1125 days to be exact. I think I'll take some time to read back through my blog posts to see how far I've come. And believe it or not, days on end go by without my even thinking about smoking....and I never dreamed that would possible. So....those of you just starting out....hang in there, be gentle but firm with yourself...love yourself...treat yourself kindly....and always remember...no matter what is going on, smoking a cigarette will not change what is going on, it will just make you feel guilty as you deal with whatever excuse you used to break your promise to yourself. 🙂
