Share your quitting journey
Out of the blue, I just received a very thoughtful message from Tommy wishing me well. It's been so very long since I posted anything. Everything has been going terrific and I'm 273 days smoke-free. I just returned from New York City and I have to admit that the ugly monster popped into my head quite a few times during my trip. Perhaps it was because I was still a smoker the last time I visited, or so many people in NYC were out smoking, or it was the whole mental "I'm on vacation" thing, OR it was all of the above. BUT, I dismissed the annoying thoughts quickly and went about my business enjoying the Big Apple smoke free. When I first quit, I never imagined that these "smoking memories" (as one fellow Exer calls them) would even exist this late in the game, but how wrong I was. In my case, I think they will be with me forever, yet I do know that the "thoughts" will be fewer and fewer and realize how silly they are. After all, I can NOW run a full 3 miles w/out stopping, which I could have never imagined doing 9 months ago. I'm so happy to see that everyone is doing great and also happy to see new faces joining everyday!
