An all over the place blog……..
Every time I have a serious crave and fantasize how satisfying a cig would be I come to this site and read a blog where someone had to postpone surgery due to pulmonary issues or someone was diagnosed with cancer. Just by reading these blogs reinforces my resolve to remain smoke free. I will not start over again just because I have a crave that is only going to last a few minutes. I don’t believe we ‘slip’. We make a conscious decision to go out and buy a pack of cigs and smoke. We need to stop finding excuses why we decided to start smoking again. If we are committed in our quit there is nothing in this world that would cause us to start smoking again. Being honest with ourselves can be freeing. Are you being honest?
I don’t want the smell of cigs in my clothes, in my hair and on my fingers. My breath is fresh and my gums are a pretty pink once again. Have you looked at your lately? Check them out I’m sure yours are pretty as well.
I like the confidence I have gained by being a nonsmoker. I can laugh and talk with people without wondering if my breath is offensive. I feel more relaxed around others. Have you notice that about yourself?
My lungs are getting better each day. I’m beginning to enjoy riding my bicycle through the park once again. Why give this up just to suck on a cig? I don’t think so.
Even after 153 days of being smoke free I know I will still think of a cig. from time to time but I also know that I can come to this wonderful site for help and motivation to continue on this journey. I hope you will continue to find reasons to remain smoke free. Our health and our lives depend on it.
The journey continues
