Don't make love standing in a hammock

Well hells bells. Day 7 is tomorrow. It can be done. I am feeling that I am not as AWARE that I am medicated - and not as AWARE that I not smoking, I'm just not. So this is what a non smoker's life is like? I LOVE IT. I miss no part of smoking - but I do think about it. Still  working that GETQUIT plan and coming here daily - almost finished with that book - man, I'd love you all to get it. HOW TO STOP SMOKING THE EASY WAY - BY ALLEN CARR.  I was on day 3 when I got it, and I will say.... that had I began to read it before the decision to stop - I don't think the message would have sunk in  -  "We have all heard all that sh*t before" is what most ppl would say... but I can honestly say that it WILL make you enjoy the fact that you do not smoke. You are certain that you are NOT suffering, NOT missing anything. You are FREE. 

He says in the book "There are lots of ways to stop smoking and some are effective, but they are not the easy way. You can make love standing in a hammock too - but it's not the easiest way."

I am making another commitment ( I am on a roll!) And want to lose a few pounds. Being able to breathe will make you see alot of things differently. I had forgotten that I used to enjoy going to the carwash and cleaning out my car. I still washed the car as a smoker... but I think the older and more polluted I became,  everything is just harder and less enjoyable,  So I was there an HOUR, listening to music, making the car shine like new, inside and out.  And all the places I go - are easier as a non smoker. I hope all of you are getting that healthy breath of fresh air - and feeling great - not deprived!  You are not missing a thing! Get past the TRAP of it all  - read, research learn about it..... and do what works for YOU!

Thanks to my EX buddies! It's worth repeating that this is as much your success as it is mine.  And to the new kids: No standing in hammocks for YOU!"

I like your blog.  This is the end of my Day 5.  I really can't believe I'm smoke free.  It was such a part of my life for so long.  Hooray for you!
