three whole weeks
i would have never imagined that i could do this
i had smoked since i was eleven years old
smoking had become part of my identity
i didn't know who i was without a pack in my pocket
but here i am
three whole weeks smoke free
and i know i'm going to be fine
it's so strange now, to think how freaked out i was about quitting
it's kind of psycho that i thought i was losing part of myself
it's so crazy to know that i thought it would be "so hard"
it's not really that hard- taking it moment by moment. one breath at a time.
thinking about it in one giant lump made it seem impossible
thinking about it all at once for the long run was just so overwhelming i actually cried
but now, i'm actually not smoking
i can imagine myself being smoke free for the rest of my life
and it's just lovely to know that i can
even though i have had a few really tough cravings over the past few weeks~
i just stopped, breathed very deeply and told my self that if i did, i'd have to start all over
and i really didn't want to go through all that again.
i know those will come
and i know that those will go
and i know that what might seem impossible really isn't
if you take your time to look at it differently and just do it.
so here i am, not a new person, but i feel renewed
i feel more energetic than i can ever remember.
i love not scheduling my day around when and where i can smoke
i love feeling so free
