Celebrating day 343!

17 years ago 0 +0 / -0 105

RD - You know I get it - I am at that exact point - I am a Knight and I get it. Rolling to that one year mark and you can breathe. Being able to exercise and realizing how great your lungs feel. So happy to be off most all my asthma meds. (I only need them if the temp drops below freezing and in AZ that is four times a year. lol) Celebrate and swim until your lungs are filled with as much air as you want. I have a pool and I know how that feels. It is amazing how long I can hold my breath now. It feels so great to just kick off and go and go and go and let my lungs use what they took in. They are healing and holding so much more air now. Just imagine what a couple more years will be like - they will be like new. Blessings and good breathing! Swim and hope that freestyle is gliding through the water! Enjoy! Allison

WOW It is really really cold out there. I have been waiting for this day to roll around. First full day off in a couple of weeks and I am really glad for a bit of free time. WOOHOO! Celebrating the motion of the ocean and the ticking of the clock. 343 days today. MMMMMMMM. Just over 11 months. MMMMMMMMM. Did I ever think that I would make it this far? When I started I really didn't know. I had little trust. Really I took it one day at a time, one crave at a time. Lots of panic and lots of second guessing and those days have passed. I am so glad to see so many new quitters here and new quitters that are clustering together, closing into great groups to support and cheer one another on. Most inspiring and pretty wonderful to watch. I am doing a little celebration, doing a little happy dance as my quit is getting really close to one year. Three weeks from today that meter will roll around to one whole year. I have been planning the reward. I am going to get myself a new digital camera. I am looking forward to that and I know I will be able to use it well in the next year because I am going to be travelling a lot. Swimming is going to be a part of that, beacise I will be swimming in comeptative meets. What an awesome reward for being quit. The ability to swim and, now, I can swim well enough and with enough confidence that I will be let myself compete in masters meets. This could be fun, and I think it will be fun, I know for certain that the people I swim with have fun! There is a place where I wonder and totally rejoice in the swimming gift. The swimming and constantly testing my breathing ability has really helped me maintain my focus on quitting. Because, I really wanted to be able to swimm and I really wanted to be able to breath. I wanted to swim and breath, more than anything else, these I wanted more than smoking. There is a realization in me today, and this realization has to do with what I want and what I am willing to do in order to get what I want. The challenge of quitting was constantly fueled by my huge desire to swim, travel and to live in a much healthier manner. The healthy thing was vert much over shadowed by my desire to swim and my desire to swim has lead into my desire to travel. So my commitment and focus on swimming has

Jan LMAO Because there are two snowball beagles just outside my office window and do they look hungry??? Magic my beagle loves loves loves the snow. She shovels our walks with here nose and then goes and naps ontop of here dog house just like Snoopy! Celebrating another smoke free day I think #344. Hooray!

As I was walking Magic the snowy great white beagle of the north. I kept thinking about Jan's beagles. They are called Holley and Casey I kept thinking of Casey and Finnegan on a children's tv show from a thousand years ago. The snow and the cold are certainly bring their own challenges in terms of my smoking thoughts and so I get busy and cook and prepare for a busy week tomorrow. The cooking is great cause I get huge pleasure in making and then I get even more pleasure as I give away to friends. I guess it is all the keeping busy. As well as HALT cause the cooking is relaxing, destressing and besides I don't get to be hungry and sharing everything beats the lonelyness into submission. So here goes on the next day I bet 345. Cheers Welcome to all the new folks round these parts.
