Four months breathin' clean

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.

Beth, Beth, Beth....yes....WOW! Living proof that no matter what, life happens whether we smoke or not, and we never needed the smoke! 🙂 And, absolutely, isn't it far better experienced having all of your senses? You bet! I couldn't agree with you more. Best part? It continues to get better, mentally and physically. The first year is full of 'firsts' and 'tap on the shoulder to smoke' challenges. But, ALL DOABLE. Nothing is worth going back to that chemical abuse, nothing. HUGE CONGRATULATIONS! YEAH!!!!!!! Another EX on the planet!!!
