Goodbye old "friend"

I would first like to start of by saying thank you for always being here for me, whenever I need it you were there and never left.  Whenever I needed you, you were within arms reach.  If I was upset, or happy celebrating or grieving you were there and I would like to say thanks.  But I can no longer look to you for help like you were a friend. Because my friend would never kill me, or make me stink, give me wrinkles, and bad breath, yellow hands,  and put my family in danger when you are around.  I am done worrying about what is going to happen to me next.  I have found a new friend.  That is fresh air and an extra couple of dollars in my pocket.  So thanks again for being here for me but I will never need you again, and will never look to you for comfort when things get bad.  Now I will look to deep breaths of fresh air, and a walk or exercise.  I will figure out how to live my life without you.  Good luck finding someone else to harm because I am done.

First off, congrats on making the decision to quit the butts. You have now made it 36 hours without smoking and THAT is a major accomplishment!!! Your apology is hilarious. With a friend like that who needs enemies, right? I just want ot support you in your quest to quit and encourage you to come here often. It really does help reading of other peoples struggles and seeing how many people come to their aid. We are all in this together and we know what each and every one of us is going thru. Stay strong in your resolve and know you have GOOD friends out there to call on! From a Day 10 cold turkey!

What an excellent blog.   Keep up that attitude and you will be successful in your quit.  Whenever you get the craving or urge to smoke come back and read this blog.  You might even want to print it and carry it in your wallet so you have it at all times.  

I just celebrated my 1 yr. anniversary of being smokefree yesterday and it feels absolutely wonderful!!!
