My - oh my - one year tomorrow!

For some it my sound great! My ticks may not tally as great in number as others, but each of us battle daily to hold on to that quit at whatever level it held us. I am so excited about my one year of my quit tomorrow. My journey started all alone as I daily faced my favorite person, my hubby, who still steps out for his smokes each night. He comes back in with - in the beginning it was a smell that drove me crazy with desire - now I find him stinky and I make him go and wash up. lol. My battle with those last three to four smokes in the end - oh they were the hardest to give up. I dragged out this quit for months before doing it. Finally, I just couldn't breath any longer - my chest burned and hurt so bad with each puff. I knew I was doing so much harm to myself. My asthma is almost a memory - I am off two of my medicines. I only use an inhailer occasionally - on a RUN for short distances. I can run and with time - I will be able to run longer. To all those that just started this journey - hang in there. Crave the quit. Long for your journey and whatever brought you to the point of tossing that pack in the trash. (For me)My kids - my lungs - living life healthier. It is all so much easier. Hopefully - stinky out back will start to crave the quit - he has to do it for himself - just like you did it for yourself. Pat yourself on the back for one more hour, day, week, month, and for me - tomorrow - a year. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/21/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 365 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,190 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $492.75 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 30 [B]Hrs:[/B] 16 [B]Mins:[/B] 55 [B]Seconds:[/B] 37

My - oh my - one year tomorrow!

HOCKEY - I am treating myself to meeting a bunch of hockey players. :) I love hockey and this year we get to go and rub elbows with some players. We have season passes. I know - crazy AZ girl -what does she know about hockey - hey - I have Wayne. :) My life is smoke free and I have Wayne. (SHHHH- don't tell stinky - he is out back again - he really needs to quit. - I am talking hockey again.) The hubby and I get to meet real NHL hockey player for my one year quit. That is a real treat. - I also got to run on the treadmill for an extra minute tonight. lol That is a treat all in it's self. Thanks for the congratulations. Life is too short to not be able to breath well and take it all in. Keep with your quit and enjoy. I have to say that my husband - I only tease about the stinky part - was my best friend in all of this. I told him - no matter how bad I beg - don't give me one. He NEVER gave in to me. He kept strong for me and my quit in that first month. That is the hardest - keep laughing and keep a friend that will support you in that dark and hard hour. To my hubby - I owe him all my gratitude - I couldn't hit this year with out him, and with out ALL of you that offered encouragement here in this support center. You each posted things I would read and nod in agreement, and take away courage to face another day of my quit. THANKS forever!
