thank you to all of you great folks on here, for making my ninety days special. I actually feel like I can do anything. For those of you who are newer to your quit, I want you to know that when you start making progress in your quit, it is totally empowering for you. You feel like a new person, full of hope and no longer a slave to a drug. This is hard thing to describe, but it is almost like getting a second chance at life. You wake up and realize all the possibilities that you never saw before. How many times as a smoker did you not do things because you couldn't smoke or it would be very hard to find a way to smoke? When that cycle of addiction is broken, you can do anything you want, go to a movie, go to that great restaurant that doesn't allow smoking, go to the theater, see a play, go for a walk, be truthful with your doctor for the very first time (come on you know you lie about how much you smoke). You can be around kids all day and not have to find a way to get outside to smoke, go on a trip with your family and not stop every hour for you to smoke....think of the possibilities, that is all I am saying. Sometimes, on here we get bogged down in the hard part of quitting and yes there are definitely challenges along the way, like not kicking that cat, but the fabulous part needs to be mentioned too. You have a great new life!
