I feel great and love this freedom.
I had tried quitting several times over the years and have never made this long into a quit. The support from this group is fantastic! I had never told asny one before whrn I was quitting that way I felt that if I started back I would not be held accountable for the choice I made to kill myself. But this time I told everyone and the attitude I started my quit with was 'mess up-fess up'. I don't think I will have to fess up to anything except that I am an ex!
I know that I am still addicted to nicotine and that is why I also have adopted the motto N.O.P.E. As I get farther in my quit I see so many suggestions, and helpful hints and tips that others have used before me. I have tried some and that did not work for me and some that have.
I have made this a fun journey for me. One that I want to continue for the rest of my life. I wanted to be a happy quitter. I am not saying that I did not struggle or that my journey has been easy because it has not. I just choose to look at the good side and keep on keeping on because the way I see it, if today was good tomorrow can only get better and I don't want to miss one minute of it. I have lost enough of my life to 'nic' and I will not give him the satisfaction of getting even another nano second of it.
It felt good to hear my 4 year old granddaughter tell me in church Sunday that she liked my perfume.( I have been wearing the same perfume for years only it was masked with smoke.) I want to hear that more often.
God bless all of you! Have a great smoke free life!
I like this quit thing. Laurie
