3 Months of not smoking (A whole 90 days!!)

Happy Friday!!! Can you all believe I have 90 days already, time is flying.  I have spent my ninety days smoke free completing a math class that has kept me from completing college for quite some time (received a B).  I've been challenging myself to conquer my fears and to work on my TO DO LIST!! I've deceided that my life and my time is very valuable to me, and I've become very stingy with it.  I've had a little time to get to know the new me, and I like what I'm finding, is she perfect heck no! LOL  But, I'm changing a great deal for the better.  I no longer have the need to continue negative behaviors or be in toxic situations/relationships.  I guess what I trying to say and express is THANKS TO ALL OF YOU, I HAVE A NEW LIFE WITH GOALS AND A NEW DETERMINATION TO SUCCESSED!!!  I COULD NOT DO THIS WITHOUT THE HELP OF THIS GROUP!!!  I THANK EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU.  I can now be with people and enjoy a conversation or program without wondering how much longer it would be, before my next smoke. What a great feeling. I don't blog often but I'm always lurking about:)  And yes, I still get a passing urge or thought but guess what, I'm learning to accept it for what it is and to me it's a death sentence, you all have helped me to become free of the bondage and for this I'm very grateful. 

Who would have ever though that a women who smoked from the age of 13 and who's now 49 = 36 years would be smoke free today?  If I can do this, anybody can!

Aww Gypsy, 90 days is wonderful.  I am very happy for you.  You give me encouragement because I have smoked since I was 13 also. I just turned 50 so I have 37 years.  I will be thrilled to see the 90 day mark.

Hi Gypsy,  Its not just the 90 days that are wonderful.  I just went back and read your entire quit!  Such powerful and positive changes in  just three months!  From the day 4 ( staying home from work )  The wall paper ripped down, and replaced with beautiful paint at Thanksgiving!  Did you ever imagine what changes that kicking those butts to the curb woud bring?  You are really on your way, and I am glad to be going with you!!!!  Congratuations and big hug.. George

We never realized that we were going to discover so much about ourselves - the self that God intends us to be - until we got into it and then - WOW!!! Who knew I was there - waiting to be FREE!!! Keep investigating this person who is you - you'll like her more and more!

I wasn't any help to you in your quit, but I love that you are so excited about your accomplishment, and you should be.  We are the same age, so I understand the reality of being a quitter after so long.  Keep up the good work.
