Wow. I seem to start a lot of my blogs with that word. I guess I am constantly amazed. Today is four months since I chose to live my life free of addiction. I am going through a bunch of crap, however when is life totally a breeze? I can find an excuse for anything. Believe me. So, quitting was going to be rough whenever it happened. I'm doing way better with my new consulting biz than I ever dreamed and realized that equals STRESS. This last month has been really tough, however by keeping my quit front and center I've gotten through and intend to continue. I like not smelling. I like having the ability to breath deep without coughing up a lung. Are things all rose smelling and perfect? Far from it. Every day is a challenge, but I found I wanted the quit more than anything and with that in mind it is suddenly four months without a smoke. Cold turkey was the only way for me. I watch Heather trying all these different things, and I just know when it's time it'll be time. She respects my quit and smokes outside and asks if I mind when out together. The move was rough. But, enough is enough. Today I celebrate my senses and thank all on this site who pulled me through the toughest times. Everyone has the ability to be an EX. Just make the choice and grab on to something/someone strong and go! Peace to all.
