I am excited about reaching my 1 year anniversary and entering in to the 6% club .....that being said it seems I have had a few more craves then usual . Just knowing this milestone is so close seems to have activated the memories of my smoking addiction to a higher level  ! Could this be nicodemons Last stand !  He doesn't give up easily but either do I !!!!

I just read Thomas' blog and as usual it was very inspiring ! My main reason for quitting smoking was to be free of the addiction and to live as God intended me to be ! It is a "Promised Land " !

I don't have live TV anymore but I have netflicks and last night (completely forgetting it was MLK day today ) I watched  "The Butler " It was a very good movie !

It is great not needing the sickerettes anymore it is wonderful not being addicted to anything ! It is fantastic to breathe without wheezing ! It is incedibe that it is almost my 1 year anniversary !!!

To all of you newbies .......Think positive thoughts about your quit and make "Not one puff ever " your commitment to yourself !  I found Dale's saying 'I don't do that anymore " incredibly helpful and it remains so . A simple statement but a great weapon against the negative thoughts that tend to enter the brain especially in the first days and weeks of quitting the sickerettes !

Thank you and (((((HUGS))))) to all who have helped me get to this day ! You newbies included !!!

Stay Strong and Carry On ! Have a very nice Martin Luther King Day !
