800 DAYS! Don't!

I can't figure out a way to join these two disparate topics - so please humor me!

I have 800 days of freedom today!  What a nice, round number.  To those just starting on this journey, my advice is to not look too far ahead.  You only have to quit one hour, one morning/afternoon/evening at a time.  I did that 800 times and look where it got me!!!

And, a warning:  don't drink alcohol this weekend (or any day) if you are quitting smoking.  It makes the voice in your head whispering, "just one won't hurt" sound reasonable.  Don't give it a chance!

Smokefree is the way to be!

Nancy

1 x 800 = 800

2 x 400 = 800

800 smoke-free days = Proud Nancy

Left those cigarettes in the garbage
Workin' for my lungs every night and day
But I never lost a minute of sleepin'
Worryin' 'bout starting all over again

Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Nancy quit that burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' down the tracks

   Smoked a lot of cigarettes in Memphis
Drank a lot of booze down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of a city
'Til I hitched a ride on the Freedom Train

If you come down to the Tracks
Bet you're gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry 'cause you need support
People on the tracks are happy to give
   
   Rollin', rollin', rollin' down the tracks

About the Author
I smoked until a vascular surgeon informed me of the damage I had done to myself by doing so. I quit 11 years ago, and I can swim laps virtually FOREVER now, walk most other days 40 minutes to an hour and a half. What a difference quitting has made in my life! I strive to help others find this wonderful freedom from addiction, too.
