Day 600 !!! 600 days of wonderful freedom !!!

I want to thank everyone for all the nice comments on my Message board and on the Freedom Train I would have  liked to thank you individually but with my carpal tunnel I  thought I should write a blog to do it ! 🙂

I just read Sparky's blog and it got me thinking about the importance of commitment and NOPE or SINAO. I also loved to smoke and often thought of it as my best friend  . That best friend is really an enemy and a back- stabber . I began to have a real love/hate relationship and finally the scales tipped and I began to want to quit more than I wanted to smoke !

  In other quits, before this one, I had in the back of my mind the possibility of  becoming a 'social smoker " you know , one of those " lucky ones " that just smoke on occasion or a few a week or maybe a few a day. Ah what a joke that is ! First of all I never really knew many of those ! Do they really exist ? I think I was more into wishful thinking !  

Addiction will make you think of all sorts of ideas to cling to your sickerettes ! I needed to change my thinking and make a real commitment to quitting and I finally did . Being on this site with so many wonderful and experienced quitters has really taught me to be committed and  protect my quit  at all costs . My roomy was smoking in the car today and she said " ya know it is really a miracle that you have done this" ( meaning even with her smoking around me all the time ) Well it is a miracle to me that the good lord helped me to find Ex ! You all Rock and I love you in the Lord !

Got to go before I tIme out and lose this blog !............. Good night ((((((HUGS )))))) to all !
