Hi guys I missed my own GREEN Parade because I have been away, but I am happy to say that I busted through the one month barrier over 7 days ago!
While back at work my collegues are dead envious of my quit and are asking how I did etc etc, and without preaching too much I tried to hook them up to this site......
I just feel pity for the people I still see smoking and have not had a stressfull crave for some time now.
I have spent the last 3 weeks in and out of airports (as I have done for most of my working life) and the new found freedom is incredible. I really see now (and pointed out to my collegues) how much time one spends working out when and how one can feed their addiction. Smoking not only kills you, tastes horrible, is a waste of money, but wastes your time and causes untold aggrevation looking for somewhere "appropriate" to smoke. I just laughed as I watched them running around, jumping back and forth between security checks, looking for stinking, smoke filled addict rooms in which they could satisfy their cravings. I used to do the exact same things.
I don't mean to sound too cocky, but I am well confident in my quite at the moment.
That is not to say that I haven't experienced a few smoking "triggers" but upon recognising them as such, they were easy to deal with, and I couldn't be happier or anymore stress free at the moment.
It was my wife's birthday 2 days ago and we had a little party at home with a few friends we hadn't seen for a while. A few of them didn't know and couldn't believe that I had quit smoking. They gave all the usual excuses, not the right time, I'm cutting down, one girl even said she likes the taste of smoking and the smell! I said c'mon you are just kidding yourself, just stop doing it, you are going to feel so much better!
Well, in any case, I am feelin' great!
Mick Dundee, Smoke Free for 1 month 1 week and 2 days, 720 cigs not smoked.
