Just a quick post in my quit journal, to help me remember later on how proud and free I felt the day I turned green. A whole month! So much change and challenge and growth. I actually can't believe that it's only been a month...and not in a bad way, but in a good way.image It seems "long ago and far away" that I was a hopeless addict whose life was ruled by stinking smoldering paper tubes of nicotine. There may be more tough days on the way...and then again, maybe not. I can't predict the future and I WON'T get complacent...I still have craves, sometimes strong ones. But it is becoming easier every time they come to acknowledge, embrace and defeat them...by knowing them for what they are and knowing the truth about nicotine and my addiction. I'm free and proud and I will stay free if I just obey one simple rule...NTAP. It is just that simple...not necessarily easy, but simple.
Today I am just brimming over with joy and energy and self love and self esteem. I AM A NON-SMOKER. I feel great, I smell great, I'm breathing deeply and loving my life. I'm also lovin' this site, all the people on it, and all the wisdom and support that is here for the asking.image
Man, I really need my dancing green YES .gif right about now....image
