Day 58!

[kamabar]

I am so happy to be where I am right now. Smoke free for 58 days! I feel amazing both physically and mentally. I've lost weight and gained respect for myself. I no longer walk around feeling guilty, because that's what smoking did to me. It was a huge weight smothering me into the ground. Now, I'm the happiest I've ever been. I'm in love, getting married, moving to a new city and starting a wonderful new chapter, or should I say book, of my life. Part 2, the smokefree years!! For anyone who has ever tried and not suceeded, keep trying. Even if you have to do it a million times, don't worry, one of those times it will stick. I can't even count how many times I tried to quit, but each an everytime has culminated into this time, the one that really counts. If I can do it, so can you. Be strong. Be happy. Peace.

This is the kind of spirit I resonate with! I get the guilty part. There were parts to my existence while engaging in smoking that did not fit. My husband is not and was not a smoker. He accepted me as is...however, it kept us with an imaginary wall between us. I always would say, "well, I don't smoke in the house, or I don't impede on his space with my smoking". I am here to tell you I felt deep down I was justifying and rationalizing my indulgence to smoke which always led to more guilt, it's as if, I was two different people. All I know, is at this point in time, a great deal is being revealed to me where as when I quit before, I had my head some where else. I feel a huge burden lifted. Let's keep flyin'!

Thanks Cindy & Catherine! Catherine - I can totally relate with what you're saying. My fiance has never been a smoker, he loved me for who I was, but I always felt like I was letting him down, but it wasn't until I really realized that I was letting ME down, that made the difference. You can't do this for anyone else, you have to want to and do it for yourself. Keep truckin!
