Day 5

[Llbug75]

I had my last cigarette at 7:55 am on Tuesday nov 8th. And it will be my last! It has been a whirlwind since, I have a lot of smoking friends so I have been a homebody a lot since quitting. I realize how much I used it as a crutch, when I was angry-I smoked. When I was sad, I smoked. When I was happy, I smoked. No matter what I did, smoking made everything better.

But that is just the addiction talking, smoking didn't really help anything-it actually made everything worse but I was so blinded by addiction that I couldn't see it. 

I am thankful for finding this site, when I feel weak-I log in and remind myself that I'm not alone in this fight and draw inspiration by reading the stories on here. Thank you for your support and for sharing your experiences

Welcome, and congratulations on your 5 Days of Freedom!  I am so glad you are here, and experiencing the benefits and not listening to the addiction trying to keep you under control.  Stay close, and just don't smoke, no matter what.
