Hi Caron and welcome to today, the first day of your ex-smoker clean of nicotine life. Your first day? Yep, it all we ever need to handle when we
"Take it ONE DAY AT A TIME".
Today may bring challenges and trials, upsets and upheaval. Then again it may shower you with joy, appreciation of the smile of a child,
the awesome feeling when you wipe a tear and say it's gonna be ok, when you walk outside and instead of reaching for a nicotine delivery device to feed an active addiction you literally stop..breathe deep....and smell the air! Yep it has a smell - actually many smells and now with your senses regaining thier full ability you will sense things you've not been able to detect for a very long time. Most of the time this is a good thing.
I also got ensnared in nicotine addiction very early in life. I applaud your decision to get smart so much sooner. Believe me when I say you are not missing anything and gaining so much back.
Anyway, the reason I wanted to reply originally was to say HI
and expand on a wonderful point Ilona made. She touched on the subject of
Quitting or Recovering?
Sure we quit when we say 'no more'. From that point on I found it very helpful to focus on making this a process of beginning, on recovering my full life, the life we were really meant to live before it was hijacked by nicotine. Start today to revel in winning your life back one bit at a time. And one day....not that far away as Illona says you'll be swimming in the comfort of a clean blood stream and a natural way of going thru your day. Spend a little time in the
My New Life ...
section of the Freedom Library today. It's like getting a preview of what is in store for you and long as you stay true to you and your personal promise to not take another puff of poison .....for the rest of today it will come true for you too. Promise.
Joe J free for 3 years 9 months and then some yet still thrilled I made the journey away from a life of active addiciton. No nicotine today and free to 'just be me'.
