What's So Good About Quitting?

18 years ago 0 +0 / -0 848

Well, here in the northeast US we're being hit by a nor'easter with torrential rains, wind, flooding in areas. And on the TV news they mentioned some schools/govt offices might be closed or have delayed openings tomorrow. And suddenly it hit me ... I don't have to worry about having enough cigs to get me through tomorrow, anymore! What a nice, relieved feeling it is. Yessss!

The best things about quitting. Hmmm, let's see. 1) I don't worry all the time anymore about getting lung cancer. That went through my mind every time I lit a cigarette. And that was 25-30 times a day!!!! 2) I don't smell like smoke anymore and I don't have to saturate my coats in febreeze every day either! 3) I have met some wonderful friends here at SSC, and if I hadn't quit, I probably wouldn't be here! 4) When I'm talking on the phone to my sister, I don't have to "hide" the fact that I'm smoking. She could always "hear" me over the phone. 5) The pride I feel in myself. My family are proud of me and I love to hear them say so. Even though they complain that I'm still moody sometimes. And I say to them, "suck it up, princesses!!!!" I'm happier every day! Sometimes this journey can be tough, but there's soooo much satisfaction in kicking Ol' Nick to the curb.

I do like smelling good. I even rewarded myself today with bath and bodyworks products. What is really making me laugh is all of the closet smokers in this thread. I was one also....LOL We should have a closet smoker club!
