Hello Nalu I love your written words, such a talent that you have! Five days down. Stick with us here and see how we can help you and how you may help others. I suspect you will be a force here Nalu! Keep the quit strong, by keeping your mind busy and use of distractions.

Hi Nalu ... Beautiful... thanks so much for sharing with us. One of my very favorite places is Malibu, CA... I stay right on the ocean and it's so powerful and healing... so I understand, and love that you brought back my Malibu in your words...

Today was the first day I went and spent time at the beach, and swam in the ocean since August. I had hurt my ankle last time, and it put a major impact on my ocean activity. I was depressed and so I chained smoked myself into a grey mess before I came back here. My ankle has healed enough for me to return to the ocean. This time it was ever better. I have lived on Maui since I was a kid, and I have never gone to the beach in 23 years with out cigarettes. I couldn't believe how absolutely wonderful it was to lay there in the sea ever aware of every sense around me. The Hawaiian name for ocean is Nalu, back when I tried to quit last year that was the name I picked for this site. The green sea turtle poked his head out of a surf line, and all I love became whole. I spent a good part of my visit walking the shore line as before as a smoker I use to pick up other people's cig butts from my sea. This time I did it with out having one of my own to smoke, this time it was not out of guilt for being a smoker, this time it was just a natural course of things to do. Thank you. all of you Today was wonderful. I would not have had it with out all the people on this site. Thank you... Smoke free on Maui. Aloha Nalu....

That's sounds awesome, Nalu. A little taste of freedom and feeling good about what you're doing goes a long way :) Keep on going.
