I tell the people in my life that I have 200 days quit. Smokers shy away but you can tell they want to ask questions, ex smokers give you the big high five and non smokers say things like “You still counting the days??” Non smokers will never know the daily positive self talk, encouragement, commitment that goes into quitting smoking. You don’t do it on a whim. You have to research information about nicotine addiction, you have to accept that you are addicted. You have to really want to quit. You have to make a plan and stick to it no matter what. Eventually the days add up into weeks, then months. Your confidence builds, but you must stay vigilant. Recommit daily, it helps. Every battle won against this addiction will make you stronger in your quit. We are fighting for our lives and I for one am winning. FREEDOM!!! People YES WE CAN!
