Quit Day!

6 7 228

Yesterday, my last day smoking, I was almost in tears because I felt so anxious about today. I had a really good conversation with my wife about how I was feeling, my doubts and fears, but also all the things I learned when I quit last November. I hadn’t really shared all that with her before, and I hadn’t asked her to be part of my support because I didn’t want to put her in that position — didn’t want her to feel like she had to monitor me. This time, I asked for her help. She’s 100% there for me, and that feels great.

And guess what? I woke up this morning feeling SUPER excited! I’m actually wearing my Superman tshirt 😆. One moment at a time; and in this moment I feel really happy. And for all of you, your support means the world. I know I’m not alone.

It blows my mind how happy I feel. I send wishes for everyone to have a good day!

Namaste, (super)Terry

About the Author

I am a recently retired artist, educator, filmmaker, and all-around slightly domesticated wild child who loves to howl at the moon. I am the daughter of two nicotine addicts, and my mom was also an alcoholic. She found AA and reclaimed her authentic seIf. She paid it forward and helped countless others find their way through. She had been a smoker since her high school days, as had my dad, and quit when my dad was diagnosed with very early stage lung cancer in 1993. They both quit on the spot, over 30 years ago, but my dear mom passed away from stage 4 lung cancer in May 2018. My dad was virtually crippled by COPD the last couple of years and he passed March 2023. I miss them both so much. Smoking killed both of them. I vowed all my life that I would never smoke, so go figure, for some idiot reason I started smoking in 2009. Now I’m free. I enjoy building tables out of reclaimed wood and love working in my shop. I have a massive model train project that has “this will take YEARS” written all over it! I love gardening, camping, reading, and drawing. I am married to the best of wives and best of women, over 15 years now. We’re looking forward to travels and adventures and just being together in this wonderful state of retirement!
