I know what 40,000 cigarettes doesn't look like. Doesn't look like tar in my lungs. Doesn't look like me sneaking away from my kids' soccer game to meet with one of them. Doesn't look like my children smelling like smoke. Doesn't look like me having to leave the store in the middle of shopping to meet with one. Doesn't look like high blood pressure. Doesn't look like ashy, sickly looking skin. Doesn't look like yellowed fingers. Doesn't look like me sleep smoking and waking up with a lit one in my bed. Doesn't look like burns on my favorite blouse. Doesn't look like burns in the carpet. Doesn't look like anxiety that the one I just threw out the car window will cause the next big Southwest fire.
Doesn't look like getting angry with my family if they talk to me after I have my "Last one" for the day because now I'll have to have another "last one" or I won't make it to sleep without a craving! Doesn't look like trying to decide if I'll sit in the smoking section with my new baby and face the stares, or if I'll sit in the non-smoking section with my new baby and face the withdrawals ... and picking the former.
40,000 Cigarettes NOT smoked for the new year looks pretty darn good on me - even if I do have to work on the weight now! hehe
WOOOT!
