A REAL QUIT STORY

18 years ago 0 +0 / -0 983

I posted on another thread that I've been happier in between craves than I was when I was a smoker. I realized finally today, that when I was a smoker, I hated myself for smoking. That inner voice that says "this is wrong"..."your killing yourself"...."you are making a really bad choice". It's that same inner voice that kept me from ever buying an ashtray....because I wasn't a "real" smoker. 17 years and I never owned an ashtry. Now that I'm quit...that voice is gone, and I'm not beating myself up everytime I light a cig. That's 20 less times a day I'm hearing negative thoughts. That has certainly changed my mood for the better. Thanks for bumping, this is a great thread!

I was shocked for some reason to see this post back up. I really took more time to read it all the way and what was so true way back then is also true today. I hope that this post will have some meaning and help to new quitters.

Thanks for posting that duffis, I remember my hand shaking and my heart pounding as I put out my last cigarette-even though it's only been a few weeks,it feels like such a long time ago-I love this smoke-free life!
