555!

Not sure why I am blogging tonight - but I really like my number today - 555!  Not a milestone - but special to me.  Every day free of this ugly addiction is special.  I spent the afternoon with my sister.  We went to an alumni get together for the high school that we both graduated from many years ago.  It was a very small and disappointing turn-out.  We had fun and enjoyed ourselves anyway.  We talked.  And it felt good to talk.  We discussed our demons - her's being alcohol and pills - mine being nicotine.  I am over a year and a half smoke free - but when even the least little thing goes wrong - my first thougts are still of smoking.  But they are only thoughts and not actions.  And those thoughts are very fleeting ones.....I suppose that being a recovering nicotine addict that I will always have those fleeting thougts and that is OK.  I know that I do not have to act on these thoughts and that is the difference between day 5 and day 555!

I am a 63 year old single woman. I quit smoking at 55 and my only regret is that I did not quit sooner. Freedom from cigarettes is truly a wonderful feeling!
