I spent yesterday getting things prepared for this final day before I quit...And as I found my self getting nervous I figured I would get the feelings out by way of a note..So I am starting this journey off with a note to cigarettes and nicotine..As they have been my enemy for 17 years..I figured it would help to say goodbye..
Today is the last and finally day with you my oldest and closet enemy.
I am tired of all the bad things you have done to my body and your selfish ways.
I am sick quite literally from your company.You have made me so weak and restless it has exshasted me.
You have took up more than your share of my time. Time I could have been using to enjoy life instead.
You have called on me every few minutes out of the past 17 years, and I have answered your call no matter where or when.
It is sad that I came to you faster,than any of my friends
No matter what I was doing ,I dropped it to satisfy you.I am saying no more and putting it to an end.
Like all relationships,good or bad,I know I will feel quite empty when I walk away.
But like leaving a broken relationship I will feel better each passing day.
I will remember you for the rest of my life.I know you will be out there waiting for any chance to come back.
But,I will be on guard against you and want budge an inch.For it has been a long time coming for me to let you go.
Each day that passes I will enjoy the little rewards that I will gain from being away from you.
Like I will no longer smell bad and I will be able to breath better because you want be smothering me.
I will be able to get your taste out of my mouth and things will smell nicer without you about.
I will have more time to get things done because I want have to answer your call anymore.
I will be scared to start with.As anyone would who has left someone that was hurting them.But I will be strong and I know you can't hurt me any more.
It will take quite a while to adjust to my new life without you.but I am excited and know that this I can do.
So as every hour of this day draws to a close I will be more and more relieved to let you go.When I wake in the morning I will be free,free from you my enemy.And I will let everyone I see know that I have left my addiction in the past and that I broke away free.
So goodbye cigarette's,smoke,bad smell,and nicotine.
I have finally woke up and now I will be free..

Wanted to stop in now to let everyone know how my day went because I will be going to bed early tonight....Well I am doing great..I have had a few passing thoughts today about cigarette's in general but have not wanted one all day...I finally got my mind set straight and realized that the battle is all in my head...So as long as i keep the thoughts as just passing breezes then I will be ok..
Gotta say thank you Nick for the advice and the straight truth..It is working like a charm..
Also thanks to everyone else here for all the support and great advice...I took it all in and between me and everyone of you,I do believe I am going to be ok through this and I am going to ditch this addiction...No, wait I already have ditched this addiction at midnight I said good bye to it and now all I gotta do is not turn back..The past is behind me and now today and every new day I am a non-smoker..Feeling absolutely great today...Everyone stay strong and well...
I have not smoked or had any kind of nicotine for 18 hours and 58 mins..
