I have been watching my quit meter with much more intensity than usual lately, waiting for it to get to 1 year, 6 months. I don't know why that milestone
seems more significant to me than 1 year did, but for some reason, it does seem bigger.
Eighteen months. A year and a half. Seems like such a long time and also like such a short time.
I am so glad I made the decision to quit and so glad that I knew enough this time to realize that one puff was all it would take to plunge me right back into the addiction.
Maybe I am feeling especially pensive because we are moving on Friday. Thinking about all the things that happened when we lived in this house... Thinking about all the possibilities after we move... Thinking about being in a new community where no one knows I ever smoked.
Thinking about all the hassles I don't have to deal with. Not being able to smoke in the rental house... Not being able to smoke in the U-Haul and having to make frequent stops to feed my addiction... Getting short of breath carrying boxes...
My clothes smell good when I pack them. I don't have to worry about keeping my clothes separate from the rest of the family's in order to segregate the smoke smell.
Just wanted to share what was on my mind...
Sincerely,
Deborah
