So today is 100 days of freedom for me and I would like to share one the several pieces that I have posted and read at least one of them daily as a reminder of why I quit smoking. I believe I copied this off of Thomas's site and wish to give thanks for having this for me. I also hope this will inspire others in their Quit.

O.K. so you've "tried" to quit seveal times and you "always" made it so many hours or so many days and then... failure! so you convinced yourself that you will probably die a Smoker! Well, you might! But only if you DECIDE to! You certainly don't "have to"! so put that thought behind you! it comes from your addictive mind (often referred to here as the NicoDemon) Your addictive Mind is part of YOU and knows you intimately! LOL! But what it doesn't know is that you CAN change! You CAN LIVE ADDICTION FREE!!
But you can't just do what you've done before and expect different results! so ask yourself,' seriously, what are you going to do differently! One of the main things I did was to admit that I need help! So I came here and read what the folks here were saying! I listened to the people who had established a good solid quit! they told me to read about Nicotine Addiction so I READ! They told me to talk about my quit , don't keep it a secret! SO I TOLD EVERYONE- EVEN STRANGERS! They told me to take it on day at a time - SO I PLEDGED on a daily basis I, Harry (Thomas's name was here I inserted mine) promise myself that NO MATTER WHAT I will not smoke for this day! Just for today I will LIVE Smoke FREE! If something comes up that I have to face I Won't ask"Can I smoke, now?! I will RESPECT myself enough to HONOR my DECISION for the next 24 hours under ALL CIRCUMSTANCES! If I need help thinking with my determined Quitter's mind then I'll come here and BLOG berfore I blow my Quit but I won't give up or give in!
I am going to try and post something everyday for the next week in Celebration of my 100 Days on the Freedom Train
A Sincere thank you to all those who have stayed on this site long after their quit and continue to encourage us all to stay the course without you I would still be smoking. this site made the differance
