24 days

I like today's quit count--24 days, that is a couple of dozen days free, makes me think of eggs--which makes me think that eggs hatch into birds, which makes me think and birds fly.  So I am getting used to my wings, and I can fly, completely free from the nicodemon's clutches.

My first week I was terribly irritable, thought I might lose it, but I didn't and support on this site helped.  The next two weeks I isolated and felt pretty down, but still used tools to stay smokefree.  This week I am doing a bit of connecting with others face to face and feeling pretty upbeat about it.  Everyone's journey is different and I appreciate hearing about how others have found their way.   I know that my mood can change quickly and craves can happen.  But I am filled with hope that I can stick with NOPE because smoking is simply not an option.

Thanks for listening--Raissa

I am 59 years old and love my four dogs and two cats, all strays I couldn't turn away. I love to be outside in my yard, watching the birds or puttering around in the dirt. I am so grateful that I let go of those inner voices that kept telling me, It is too late to quit smoking, or, Why quit now? I am so looking forward to being smoke-free.
