Today my boyfriend reminded me that it's our 1 year 5 month anniversary. We remember where we first met, our first date, our first kiss, the first time he farted in front of me... all the important stuff that marks a growing relationship. I'm almost to 20 days smoke free, and I'm looking back fondly at my first meal as a nonsmoker, my first night at the bar as a nonsmoker, my first time driving without a cigarette. For all you new quitters, TAKE HEART! It may be difficult today, but soon you'll be looking back with pride. You'll see humor where you once saw stress and you'll see that each "threat" to your quit was just an "opportunity" to prove how strong you really are. Imagine if I can say this after 20 days smoke free-what you'll be able to say after 20 years!
