Was It That Long Ago

[karen-lane]

6 years ago  I quit smoking,  I didn't know then what was to come and the unbearable circumstances I would endure without smoking.  I did it and it was hard at times.  

Anyone can do it if they want it bad enough,  it won't be easy.  We do many things in life knowing that it will be painful at times.  

When a woman chooses to have a baby, she knows that it will be painful at the end but what she gets for that pain will be a beautiful little life to care for.

Same as when we choose to quit smoking, it will be painful but at the end we will get a beautiful life to care about, our own

I hope that anyone who reads this will find the courage and the strength to take their lives in hand and be free of the chemicals that are destroying them.

HAVE HEART AND COURAGE

Love to all

Beautiful post!  You are absolutely right that anyone can stop smoking.  It may not be easy but it is so worth the effort   I hope you are celebrating today!!

Good to see you, "Quit Buddy!"  I was three months quit when you arrived, I guess.

Happy you are still quit, continuing to enjoy a life free of addiction.

Thanks for celebrating with us!
