Yes I quit on leap year! Kind of thought it was funny! Oh well, I have a lame sense of humor, HAHA. In some ways it seems and feels like yesterday - still have the thoughts even though they are now far between and nothing more than an occasional nusance. And sometimes it feels like a lifetime ago. I have been working on becoming the PERSON I want to be. I am a work in progress but honestly I've seen the most change in the past year after I quit smoking. I now believe more in my abilities, I face my fears rather than hide (most of the time - but have found I have to come out eventually - sooner the better), I have back slid on my eating and gained 19LBS - instead of getting angry, beating up on myself and quitting, which was my norm - I have found a group of ladies and we are working to inspire, support and be firm with each other. Firm but kind!!
I am now feeling positive about my future, whatever it holds, because I feel more positive about me. Even handled my son moving out better than I feared I would. I am now an empty nester. Not how I saw it when I was younger - I'm divorced too - so empty nest really does mean ALONE! I was afraid that I would break down and eat/smoke my fears away. I decided - (the NEW me) - that instead of going into the pit of fear, negative thoughts, dispair - I would look and focus on the positives. Won't lie have had a couple crying spells, miss my son but happy he is living his life. AND surprised to find me excited about living mine!
Well everyone HAVE A GREAT SMOKE FREE DAY!!
