“Every day might not be good – but there is something good in every day” that’s pretty much how I look at life in general, but not lately!

One week…OH my gosh, I haven’t smoked for 7 days…a whole week without cigarettes! I, the long-time smoker, haven’t touched a cigarette for one whole week. Believe it or not, my last pack is still in the freezer…..unopened and untouched!
I looked at my chalkboard, and it made me smile; it showed a big 5! Wow, almost a whole week smoke-free! Most of the time I am fine, but yesterday I had a craving, and it was different. It hit me like a freight train and came from out of nowhere. It lasted a little bit longer as well -maybe 20 minutes, but still…..it didn’t kill me. I had more and more questions on my mind. I wanted to talk to other people like me; I wanted to find smokers like me who just quit …but where?
I have this kitchen decoration on top of our fridge; it’s an Italian chef holding a small chalkboard. It’s too small, and I can’t really use it for anything. I wrote a big 3 on it! I haven’t smoked in 3 days…and I can honestly say I felt confused! What was happening?
90 Days smoke free…wow! I have saved $399,38 and left 1,788 cigarettes untouched. It sounds good, doesn’t it! I feel proud and bought myself something special, like a celebration gift! So much has changed in the last three months…….let’s go back and see how it started!
I smoked for so long that it seemed to be just a part of me. I was one of those happy smokers! I knew it was a bad habit, but didn’t beat myself up over it. Life was different 30 years ago; smokers were happy in commercials, and famous people recommended cigarettes.
Unbelievable… I am an ex-smoker! Tomorrow will mark three months. I didn’t plan it, and I certainly wasn’t prepared for it. It just happened. Out of the blue, after 35 years of smoking, I decided to quit—and I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I am 50 years young, and for the first time in my adult life, I am a non-smoker! So tomorrow, I am going to celebrate a little. Maybe with cake, maybe with a glass of wine, or maybe I will buy myself some flowers.
