Can I smoke?

16 years ago 0 +0 / -0 5195

I remember all the times of trying to walk away and the addiction wrapping chains around me and pulling me back. I remember wishing to be free. I remember all the things I didn't do because I would rather smoke. I remember sitting on my deck and staying there in my safe haven, in my comfort zone. I remember fighting the craves, the tears, the yelling, the getting mad, the wanting to be free more than anything in the world. The wanting the cravings to go away if only for one day. I don't fight that anymore. My battles are different now. I want an escape but smoking isn't it. I've been through too much smoke free. I've fought too hard to get here. I don't want to start the new year as a smoker or as an ex-quitter. You are right, I do want to see my meter crank on over to 1000 days. WOW! I didn't realize I was so close. I remember when 10 days seemed imposible. 10 hours seemed impossible and now I'm about to hit 1,000 days of freedom. I guess there isn't any going back. Perhaps true freedom comes when you can say.. there isn't any going back.

It is the time (distance) you put between yourself and mylast that makes it all go away. Always, knock those thoughts down, get real busy and find something to consume your thoughts and it passes. Think how fortunate you are to have been able to lay them down and walk away. Happy New year!

Besides, you know you want to see that meter hit 1000 and more!!! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/5/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 299 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 7,475 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $3,154.45 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 36 [B]Hrs:[/B] 12 [B]Mins:[/B] 45 [B]Seconds:[/B] 42

Hi Lady, Everyone can smoke. You don't need to though. You're doing great without the cigarettes and don't let the junkie tell you any different. It's easy to be swayed by a smoking thought and smoke, but if everyone took the easy way, nothing would get done, and we would be living in holes in rocks still because it was too much effort to think about new ways to live. Hang in there Lady and keep close [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]7/12/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 170 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 4,250 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �714.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 21 [B]Hrs:[/B] 6 [B]Mins:[/B] 36 [B]Seconds:[/B] 11

Of course you can, you're a grown up. You can do whatever you want. I'm here to tell you, though, just because you can, doesn't mean you should. It ain't all it's cracked up to be.

Thats right Lady, it would only make you feel worse. I think you deserve a special reward to celebrate the awesome job you have done these past 910 days!
