15 years ago 0 +0 / -0 916

1. I got rid from my enslaver.

2. I'm not a second class person.

3. I can go to my anual checkup and say: I'm a nonsmoker! And I no longer avoid going to the doctor.

4. I'm adding days to my life, so hopefully I will be able to see my grandchildren.

5. I'm taking control of my health. I'm not harming myself.

6. My selfesteem is going to the roof. Most of the time I have always get what I wanted. Notsmoking was becoming a frustrating nonatainable goal.

7. My family and friends are proud of me. I cannot let this community down!

8. My skin, hair and nail look great.My teeth too!

9. I'm congruent. I have always had healty eating and excercising habits, and then, SMOKE?

Great idea, Angie!

#1 No longer a second class citizen!

No more embarrassment smoking in public!

#2 I can finally go to the dentist without being yelled at!

( I have extensive dental work that can be compromised by smoking.

Hopefully, I quit in time. )

#3 80 minutes per day of time now available !

#4 No more having to count, stock, remember cigarettes, lighters, ashtrays!

# 5 Can now accept any invitation to any event, or stay without panicking about how/where/ when can I smoke!

I can actually be "present" without constantly thinking about how to get away for a cig!

#6 Now on any application, medical history, survey .. I can check off NON smoker!

# 7 Car smells really good and no more of those little white ashes all over the dash!

#8 Don't have to worry about starting the next brush fire in So. California! We live in the hills and it was always a dark, nagging fear in the back of my brain. Really.

# 9 I'm not stinky!

# 10 No guilt!

Yippee!!!!

10. People don't look at me and judge me for smoking... Because I'm not smoking!

9. I'm saving money everyday! (Even after the cost of gum :-)

8. When It's raining or snowing I can admire the weather from inside, instead of standing outside smoking and miserable.

7. Is it just me, or are my teeth already whiter?!

6. I'm no longer a slave to it, gathering my smoking items before I leave the house or adding up hours plus smokes to make sure I have enough to "get me through".

5. I don't have to wash my hair everyday (which I previously thought was a myth). It is not stinky, greasy, or dirty from smoke and ash.

4. I have extra time in my day to play with my daughter or dogs, not to mention more energy and stamina.

3. My family and friends are proud of me. I'm proud of me too. NOT SMOKING IS EMPOWERING!!!!!!

2. I'm not losing minutes, hours, days of my life anymore for a totally disgusting addiction anymore!

1. My daughter is no longer around smoke... Her memories of me WILL NOT be plagued with cigarettes!

I would love to hear some reasons why YOU think not smoking is awesome!
