Hello everyone,
Just wanted to share with you that I hit DOUBLE-GREEN on Saturday and didn't even realize it
. I originally quit smoking because of health issues
~ reduced lung capacity and the knowledge that my continuing to smoke would eventually cause emphesyma or worse! Over the past 62 days, I've had some
great additions to my "why quit" list ~
- I don't have to play mind games with myself on when, where and how I'll be able to smoke if I am out with non-smokers (who don't know I smoke).
- I don't have to feel guilty around my 11-year old daughter who knows smoking is bad for me and wondered why I wanted to kill myself and not be around for her in the future
- I don't smell and neither does anything I have been in or around (at least from MY smoking
) - I don't get dirty looks from strangers in parking lots or outside buildings
- I don't get stressed out from being in nicotine withdrawal
- I can spend money on something a lot more fun that "killer sticks"
- I don't argue with my husband about my ashtrays outside (he's a never-smoker)
- I don't have to wonder, every time I light up, if this will be the cigarette that takes me from reduced lung capacity to full blown lung disease
Thanks for listening!
