Non-smokers - in charge ?

You know what I absolutely love? Smelling my clean hair and not being self concious about kissing my husband because I know my breath will not stink! T.

Kiwi, I'm sure a lot of the quitters would agree that smoking was their way of coping. What a great insight for you to share, especially beneficial to newbies who may not realize this yet. Glad to hear your enjoying your nicotine free life! Danielle ________________________________ The SSC Support Team

That sums it up perfectly what I hadn't been able to explain for the last 30 days.

Just a few thoughts to hopefully inspire... As a smoker i could sometimes be happy (if i worked at it). I sometimes felt depressed but that was o.k. cos i was able to relax & 'do nothing' for extended periods of time (sort of helped), i could do this by self medicating with nicotine, numbing my brain & keeping my emotions & thoughts at bay. As a smoker i was always happy with 'just the way things are' & didn't search for my worth and place in the world. I simply smoked and smoked and smoked till i couldn't smoke no more to try & brake free. Now...... As a non-smoker i am happy & feel 'clean', if i'm depressed i'll do something about it & fix it. I can still relax but limit my coffee & sugar intake (which makes perfect sence), I will self medicate with life experience cos my emotions are free & thoughts rampant but thats o.k. cos as a non-smoker i do not accept 'this is just the way things are' if i don't like the situation or the way things are.... i'll change it or avoid it because... My happyness is paramount. I do not smoke cos i don't want to ! I am at last.. in charge.. i am truely free but most of all. i do what makes me happy. me, me, me, me be happy ;p [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/1/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 517 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 12,943 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $3360.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 74 [B]Hrs:[/B] 4 [B]Mins:[/B] 22 [B]Seconds:[/B] 54
