Today was the day that I thought would never come. I have not had a cig in 365 days. Become an Ex helped me so much. I will never be able to say thank you enough to all of the friends any family that showered me with love and well wishes. The down side, I have gained weight, but that goes with the territory. I have had fits and temper tantrums that a 2 year would be jealous of. But here I am. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. As God is my witness I will never smoke again. I remember 3 weeks into the program I looked my youngest daughter and said to her, please honey, I am sitting in the 9th ring of hell right now. Tell mommy you will never smoke. Let’s move on to the up side. I love to hug people. I could never do that before. I was so scared that I would stink to people. I can get on a plane and never worry about when can I get off this thing and find someplace to smoke. I can sit through a meal and not worry about running out side to smoke after. My husband says I no longer thrash about in the middle of the night like I'm swimming the English Channel. I could go on and on, but I have dinner to get on the table and a walk around the neighborhood. I just want to share this day with everyone who is were I was 1 year ago today. You can do this, you are not alone, and you are strong enough.
