6 weeks today!

[saw2w]

This past weekend was busy as usual and filled with potential triggers. We went to a steeplechase race out in the country and there is a lot of family stuff and drinking that always goes on. I used to always sneak away to smoke. This time I barely thought of cigarettes, and when I did it was only to notice that the cigar smoke smelled good at the tailgate, and to feel a little sorry for the people I did notice walking by smoking. It was very liberating.

I've got another 5k this upcoming Saturday and have been working on building up distance lately, so that's been exciting to do with lungs that can breathe like they're supposed to. I also got a compliment on my skin, I've been using new stuff but I also hope that quitting smoking has helped 🙂

According to my app I am 6 weeks 15 hours smoke free and have saved $152!
