Wowee! Time certainly does fly when you have better things to do that smoke! I just got back from my weekly night out with the
girls... came up to check my e-mail before hitting the hay... and there it was a lovely:
CONGRATULATIONS... YOU'VE BEEN 6 MONTHS QUIT!
6 Months ?!?
I couldn't believe it... already? This my dear friends is comfort! This is Freedom indeed!
Gone are the days of wondering how long I would have to wait until my next cigarette... being late because I had to have that one last
puff... of torturing myself knowing that I should quit but feeling that I couldn't... of listening to others tell me I should quit... of withdrawl
symptoms and cravings... of sporatic thoughts of having a smoke... of the desire to have a smoke at all... period.
I am free to enjoy my life... to be healthy... to live longer... to smell nice... to spend my money on something more worthwhile... to
know that becasue I am educated I will NEVER go back to that nasty addiction... and I know that I have the ability to really help others get to this point of
freedom if only they want to get here too...
This weekend was Thankgsgiving Weekend in Canada... I like to stop and seriously take the time to refect on all that I am thankful for
and although I was giving thanks for many things this weekend... I was extremely thankful for my FREEDOM!!! I credit this forum with a lot of my success. I
realize that my quit is mine and that no one but me achieved it... but This Place Saved Me... and not a day goes by when I am not thankful ~
especially on Thanksgiving Weekend when I did not have to go outside and puff away after having a lovely Turkey dinner... instead, this year I got to hang
out and enjoy the conversation without thinking of a smoke ~ That's freedom!
I am
Woo-Hoo!!
I am proud of me!
Kisses,
Christy xx
