Free for 30 Days

Well I am off to a new job and getting all packed up, I will have a room in the city where I work, but will return to my little home in the country on my days off. I am 30 days free of cigarettes and very happy about that, I have avoided 931 cigarettes , it hurts my lungs to even think of that. Mostly I am so happy about my head space, because I know that If I were still smoking I would  be seriously depressed about that. Everything about cigarettes is negative.  I hear people say that they would like to smoke a cigarette and I think 'you wouldddd???" Or someone who said 'cigarettes are my friend'.  That is like someone saying 'heroin is my friend'. I am real glad to know that cigarettes are not my friend. I do not crave to have them, nor do I believe in 'triggers'.  I am so greatful to be able to lay the depression down that comes with smoking cigarettes.  in the early days I used this forum alot. And it was very helpful. I won't be around much for a while, but that does not mean that I have relapsed or anything. Keep on Quitting.

Best of luck starting this new chapter!  I hope it is all that you wish. 

Remember there, too, that there is NEVER a good reason to smoke - there are only excuses.

You will be missed - do stop in when you can!

New beginnings are so exciting.  Wishing you the best!  You're doing great and I agree with everything you said. Smoking is depressing.  I was once a fool to believe that smoking was calming and relaxing... I'm glad it's behind me enough now to know that it was quite the opposite.  Take care and update us when you can.
