Hi EX-family! I hope everyone is having a great smoke free day and holding strong with your commitment to yourself not to smoke! Isn't it a wonderful feeling to finally have CONTROL of your life and your addiction? As long as you do not smoke, you are in control! I'm giving myself that gift today and I hope everyone here will embrace this concept!
I am in a lot of pain today as I slipped and sprained my ankle while I was out walking my dog last night. I iced the heck out of it, but it looks like I'm going to have to try to stay off it, at least for today. Maybe this is the universe's way to tell me to take it a little easier. I had been suffering from what I thought were allergies the past few days, but now I am thinking it is more of a cold as I have a lot of chest congestion and coughing, in essence my lungs feel like they used to when I was a smoker! UGH! I did NOT miss that feeling and it is extremely uncomfortable, thank goodness I'm not smoking through this sickness like I always used to!
Life happens, good and bad. Smoking won't make it any better. Attitude is everything!
Today I choose to smile through the pain and make the most of the fact that I get to sit down for a better part of the day for once! I'm certainly not going to smoke over it! Between the choice of a smile or a frown, I will choose a smile every single time! Nobody ever had a rainbow, baby, until they had the rain!
