Things I don't miss!!!

[danielle28]

My hair always smelling like an ash tray! Don't miss that!!

My finger nails looking yellowish! Don't miss that!!

The top of my head freezing because I have to drive with the window open! Don't miss that!

Standing out side shaking and chattering my teeth just to get that fix in! Don't miss that AT ALL!!! (it's 5 degrees here right now!)

The hacking and coughing each and every morning! Don't miss that!!

Feeling as though a truck has ran over my chest! Don't miss that!!

But most of all..... something I think about each and every day....

I'm not missing MY LIFE!!!! I am finally living the way I should have always been, and now.........

MY KIDS WONT HAVE TO MISS ME EITHER!!!

I don't miss smoking at all. It took a while to get to this point, but I made it this far, and I am NOT going back! NO THANK YOU!!
(this all came to me last night while I was driving home from work. it was sooooo very cold, and I thought to myself..... "wow! I used to stand outside in this just to poison myself!!" I am so thankful for all of my great friends who have supported me through this. I never would have made it with out them!!)

What don't you miss?!!!

*Sorry, I had to open it up for comments! duh.*

I don't miss (and I'm sure my littles ones don't either) my kids having to wait until I finished a cigarette to have their needs met; nasty-ass morning breath; having to stop my life or what I was doing just to go smoke; the constant tickle in my thoat; being a hypocrite when I promoted holistic health to people; avoiding kissing my hubby because I knew my breath was bad; smoking in the car; worrying about the next fix; checking to make sure I didn't run out of cigs; having to grab cigs and lighter EVERY time I walked out the door or went anywhere; going through the emotional turmoil of wanting to quit but not having the guts to quit; worrying about COPD because my grandmother has it; wrinkling up my face, and spending all that damn money!!!

I don't miss the smell, I now smell like my perfume not perfume and cig. I don't miss the smokes running my life, will I be able to smoke if I go there or there. This is great now, they have no power over I have my power back.

Ok!!! I think I finally got this fixed!
I am soooo slow today!

I don't miss having to pretend I was a non-smoker when I wasn't to non-smoking friends. Now I'm a non-smoker -- PERIOD!

[barbara42]

I do not miss the money, wasted and am saving for a cruise, that is going to be my reward

[danielle28]

I always say that if you keep the desire to quit, at the front most of your thoughts, each and every day, then you will be a quitter in no time!!

I DON'T MISS THE NASTY DRY MOUTH THAT I ALWAYS GOT AFTER HAVING ONE!!! Nope, don't miss that!!!

[kerry]

I am on day 2 as a non smoker and I am winning! Hard to believe. Everyday will tell my story...with a happy ending.

i dont miss being short of breath every time i climb my stairs in my home.im glad i broke free from this awful habit.

[donna25]

I dont miss the morning after cig hang-over I always seemed to get. I dont miss the nasty smelling hat or gloves, and I really dont miss the dry-stinky-from under(????)morning breath that made my own nose hairs curl!!!! YUCK

[debi8]

I don't miss the coughing and hacking anymore or the sneaking outside at work just to have that cig that i thought was so important. I don't miss the doing without something so I could have that carton of cigs

[christine16]

definitely don't miss being thirsty all of the time....don't miss dry wrinkled hands because of smoking in the cold. don't miss the worrying about them all the time.....don't miss the guilt of being a smoker and knowing i was killing myself.....don't miss the out of breath feeling when i ran more than 1 block.....
