545 Days quit... Hard times

Jordan-11-1-12

Going through a hard time in my life right now.... quitting doesn't stop the hard times but, once we really, truley understand that smoking only makes hard times worse, it's easier to shrug off the smoking thoughts that come with stress.  

I've been dreaming about smoking, which makes me laugh now, when I'm awake and aware....... but it just goes to show how strong and persistant this addiction is.   No matter how bad it gets, and it happens to be bad for me right now, I can smile and feel relief that i no longer smoke.   I feels so good to be able to laugh at the smoking thoughts because I am no longer a slave to Nicotine!!!

500 das ago I never would have believed it was possible, but I am FREE~!!!!     

I smoked 40 cigs a day when I quit... my entire day and night revolved around smoking.... but I did the suggested reading (whyquit.com  and Allen Carr's book)  and I came on this site many times a day, and payed attention to those who had YEARS OF QUIT TIME..... and I distracted from every smoking thought.... and, here I am, a week away from A YEAR AND A HALF smoke free..... and sooo happily FREE!!!!

NEVER give up!  NOPE=Not One Puff Ever
