Hey everyone!
I am sorry that I have not checked in. But, I am proud to say that I am now going on 5 months without smoking....yeah me! It is really strange because I do know that I could go back to it in a second but I also know that I am resolved to not go there. I have had so much stress the past few months and I did not give in so maybe, just maybe I have made it over the huge hump.
So for those who think you cannot do it, seriously you can. I just think to myself that I really don't need it anymore and there is a strength in knowing that I took control of my life and this habit and to be able to walk around without looking for a smoking corner...to eat a meal without having to look for an after meal smoke....to wake up in the morning and have a cup of coffee without having a cigarette...I can tell you that this has liberated me beyond words.
Keep the faith and keep the resolve. For the first time in a very long time, I have a smidgeon of pride that I accomplished something that I really didn't think I could do.
