900 Days!

[YoungAtHeart]

Wow - this is amazing to me!  If I could do this - EVERYONE can.   Smoking now only enters my mind when I encounter an old trigger that I haven't gotten through much.   I HATE to shop and only go to a mall  if there is a present I have to go there to find.  I don't think I have actually been IN a mall since probably last Christmas season.   I was shopping and lugging, and overheated, and tired, and hungry and hating every minute of it.....and I thought..........maybe time for a cigarette break?  Then I actually laughed out loud!  The addiction stays with you, but it is a fleeting thought, nothing more!

I thought it might be helpful to the newly quit to read one of my early blogs (2 weeks).  I am living proof that all of us who have been successful have been through what you are going through:

Take heart!  It is not easy at times, but it is SO doable!

Just keep adding those days.  Freedom really IS grand!

You have always "been there" for me and anyone else that needs an encouraging word or a knuckle rap on the head.

So, today I get to tell you something that I should say to you more often.

1) Congrats on a great anniversary

Thanks for demonstrating to us that intense flashbacks are NORMAL, but that these CAN be swept aside with a chuckle and a shake of the head. It's empowering to hear an esteemed Elder speak the human truth. THANK YOU!

HAVE A WONDERFUL 900th!!!

900 Days is just an awesome number! You are such an inspiration. I am glad you shared your fleeting thought of smoking, it helps to know that it's normal and we say, "I don't do that anymore". 🙂

May you have a Blessed and beautiful Holiday!
