28 months for Riverdale Man!

I wish!

I am so complemented and it really has only been 28 months!

I only got on the bandwagon on February 17th of 2006 and so today is my anniversary!

Hooray.

Sorry I am not around so much any more and I do read here often.

Work and life and play have conspired to bring me so much more than I could have ever imagined. Especially now that the haze has cleared and the cloud of chemical addiction has disolved. It astonishes me what health can feel like especially after 36 years of a couple of packs a day! Hooray!!!!!

Life moves on and health happens.

Thanks Rusty

for the acknowledgement and thanks to all you amazing quitters for all of your brave work. Cheers

Rd Man The Quit and all the Stories

I just got back from swimming...2000 meters ... freestyle!

Who would have thought that was possible even a year ago never mind two years ago, three years ago or even more. There are days when I surprise myself and days when I simply know how lucky I am to have escaped without being tainted by 36 years of addiction to tobacco.

I am constantly amazed at how the body, my body, mends and heals and the power of life and the life force of the human body!

What a great day it has been.

Karen

Thanks for asking.

The best coping mechanisms for for me were:

Focusing, constantly focusing on my goal (Health and Breath).

Swimming, it is really hard to smoke in 12 feet of water.

Rewards, going to Venice at one year was awesome.

Knowledge, getting as much knowledge as I could

Succeeding and celebrating every success along the way, no matter whether tiny or huge. Each success was and still is cause for celebration.

In fact for me I spent so much time celebrating it took my focus from the struggle.

Finally HOPE!

Hope played a huge part in every day. Seeking hope to find a new way. Seeking hope to find courage to go on. Seeking hope to know that I could create and maintain the sustained change I wanted. Hope that I could find a new life.

Looking forward to a new year...

Happy snow day! Happy every day! Happy holidays!

Cheers...Peace
