Felt Like I was Being Punished!

Yesterday I posted a blog about my 1st week of non smoking and severl of the hurdles I made it over and how I was a successful non smoker as of now.

During this post I mentioned something to me was just in passing.  This was the fact that I still had 5 cigarettes on hand that had not been smoked.

I thought I had broken the Golden Rule!  Everyone that read my blog did not see anything I said except that i still had 5 unsmoked cigarettes.

Comments came flooding in.  "GET RID OF THOSE CIGARETTES NOW"   "YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE THAT!"  

This went on and on.  Almost everyone that read my post came back at me with both hands in the air waving danger, danger.  I felt like a kid getting scolded.  

Needless to say I did not like this!  I know you all meant well but the way you approaced it was, to me, unacceptable.  I have now decided to keep those cigarettes until the cows come home instead of trashing them like I had planned to.  

I plan on continuing my journey of being a non smoker and enjoying a much better and happier life.
