staying quit--i'm still a quitter and so can you....
Found time to update this blog. It will be 5 months smoke free on the 22 of February 2010 which is 3 days away.
My darling nephew is a quitter too and I am trying to give him pep talks. No-one but another quitter knows the challenges and rewards.
So, after this long, how's it been you ask?
1. Great. I've gained 12 pounds. Since I was already overweight, and made it through the holidays, I am lucky (haha) that it's not more. I am nearly over the feeling of food is my reward damnit if I can't smoke.
2. I still have had occasionally thoughts of saying fuckitall, i quit quitting. But I haven't yet. Always the yet, right girls?
3. I realized what the best part of not smoking is: the freedom. I notice it frequently. Especially rewarding was traveling and not having to worry about the when and where of my next nicotine fix. The life of a recovering addict is tough at times, but also rewarding.
3. My doctor was glad I finally quit. He saw my weight gain, didn't care much, but looked at me and said "When are you going to start exercising?" He's so cute! As soon as it's warmer than 20 degrees outside I said. (I didn't mention I have a treadmill in the basement. LOL)
4. Cigarette smokers stink. It's really noticable when you don't smoke yourself.
5. It's nice not to worry about my next fix. But that goes along with the Freedom part mentioned above.
Okay, so that's all for now.
Just remember, my advice is twofold:
*The hardest part about quitting is thinking about it...the stress and worry about the stress and worry.
*Ah...If I can do it, anyone can do it!
