TWO MONTHS FREE

Today, I am TWO MONTHS FREE  of all forms of nicotine!

Not only did I start my forever quit on June 1, 2022, I also decided not to use NRT's on this leg of that quit.

I still have thoughts of smoking at various times on a daily basis, but when those occur, I remind myself that I have chosen / promised to not smoke ever again. And I take breaths to "carry me off" to my relaxation place where my favorite hymns are in concert.

And I remind myself of my firm commitment and spiritual promise to be done with cigarettes, no matter what.

And I then get on with my life.

Prior to my first quitting on 8/25/2019, I was a heavy smoker for over 60 years. That time, I quit due to health concerns regarding clogged arteries to my brain. Tar deposits from cigarettes were making the situation worse. I had become a prime candidate for a stroke and required surgery to clean out my left carotid artery. I have relapsed 4X since that quit, the last one being on 05.15.2022. ( At one point in all of this madness, I had been quit for 1.5 years). Then on 9/7/2021 I began my recent eight month quit before my current relapse. I am in the process of planning a return to the non-smoking life. After more than 2 weeks of smoking, wheezing and coughing and being short of breath, I have set my new quit date of June 1, 2022 as the beginning of my forever quit. I am done with this madness!! God is good.
