Someone once told me that the very worst lie is the one you tell yourself.  Think of the emotions that you go through when you find out that a dear loved one or even your spouse lied to you about something.  It hurts a lot, doesn’t it?  And yet, when I was a smoker, I accepted the lies from my addiction every single day.  I lived the lie that cigarette smoking was not that bad for me, and that I really loved to smoke.  And all the while that I lived the lie, I hated myself more and more.

Enough NEGATIVE!!  Today, I AM FREE!!!!  I do not have to listen to or believe the lies of nicotine addiction anymore.  I am a new free person.  And how did I do it?  God gave me the gift of willingness, you all guided me down the right path, and I just did not smoke for ONE DAY.  I repeated DAY ONE 365 times in a row!!  And here I am.  (I had to take a picture of my countdown clock – he he)

Forever grateful to all you EXers!! Xo  And now I am off …..to go do something very special for myself today!!!   Yayyyyy!!!  I can hardly believe it!!
