So today was day 209 for me and the strangest thing happened.
Twice today, when I got the still familiar "I would normally be smoking right now" thought, instead of reminding myself that I don't do that anymore and pushing through it, I had this really great peaceful calming feeling of "I'm SO glad I don't smoke anymore".
Now don't get discouraged newbies. I know that sounds a little late coming on day 209 but understand those "I would normally be smoking right now" thoughts were not craves. They were just memories. No big challenge. Just daily reminders of how I've spent most of my life......as a smoker.
But now... today... finally, I think I'm actually ready to say I'm an EX. I'm DONE!! I don't smoke anymore. Whew!!! As I've said before, I'm slow and usually take the long road but I'm glad I've made it to this place. Feels great!! I wish everyone the joy of freedom. You owe it to yourself and everyone who loves you. Make it happen!!!
