So today is my 9 month anniversary of quitting. I am as shocked as anyone ...not because it has been so long but because it has only been 9 months. It feels like forever. I don't even consider smoking...it is not part of my life. I can be around smokers without wanting to smoke. I have more money. Not only have I saved almost $1500 by not smoking but since I don't go into stores for cigs I don't buy a lot of other stuff either. I smell nice. My teeth are white. My tongue is pink....my breath is sweet not at all like an ashtray. I think I feel my lungs healing as well. I can walk up stairs without dying for a breath. I only stand outside when I really want too. I can sit anywhere in a restaurant. It is winter....my car windows are always up now. I have not burned a hole in anything for 9 months. I never care if I have a lighter or not. I don't ever need to run to the store late at night...everything can wait until morning. My family never gives me the look (you know the look) anymore. I don't feel judged by strangers.
This was not the easiest thing I have ever done but with the support of the wonderful people here it was also not the hardest. I decided it was time and it was. As long as I remember that I can never have another puff I will be fine.
40 - 45 million people smoke in the US. Make it one less.....quit and become an EX like me!!
So proud. Thanks to all for their support.
I am grateful.
Prayers for all,
Susan quit since 2-25-2008
