Six months ago today I became a non-smoker, after 30 years of smoking a pack a day.� Since October 19th, I have not smoked 3,648 cigarettes--not even one single puff.� I have gotten rid of all the weight I gained during my quit, plus some.� I can breathe easier and I don't wake up in the morning trying to hack a lung out.� I am rarely out of breath and have over $600 in cash sitting in an envelope�that would have been spent on nasty cigarettes.� Both me and my house smell infinitely better than they used to.���
A big congratulations to me--and also to my father and Robyn as well, who also put down the cancer sticks at the same time.
It is SO nice to be free of the addiction.� I couldn't be happier about my decision to get those vile things out of my life.
If you are just starting your quit, know that it DOES get a lot easier. Six months seemed to have just flown by. I rarely get a craving and when I do, it's barely even a fleeting thing...then POOF it's gone.
Not one puff ever!
