Hi everyone !
I have been thinking about how the hard times in life can often be the beginning of very positive and lasting changes .
Three years ago in the fall of 2013 I got Lyme Disease I had it for 2 months before i got symptoms after taking antibiotics for 21 days the symptoms began to decrease (head and neck pain and flu like symptoms ) but then i began to feel sick again and if anyone knows about this disease you know it can live inside of you and cause bad symtoms for years and doctors often deny it .....well suffice it to say, I had no choice but to try and rid myself of it by nutriton and researching it online.
This process led me to taking much better care of myself but I had the nagging thought of quitting smoking ! Here I was trying to rid myself of toxins as I continued to smoke up the biggest toxin of all ! This led me to try to quit smoking for the first time since 10 years previously . I failed at this try because i still thought I could learn to social smoke . During this time I lost my oldest and best friend to cancer she had quit but had smoked quite a bit in her lifetime . The following year I found Ex and here I am today almost to my 2 year anniversary !
Sometimes it takes a wakeup call to make the changes we need to have a healthy and addiction free life don't wait until it is to late !
Have a great day everyone I smoked for 52 years If I kicked the habit and addiction I know anyone can ! No one "loved" smoking more than I did ! I am so glad and happy to be free !
