Nine Months LATER WOOHOO!

18 years ago 0 +0 / -0 2614

;p WooHOO! Nine months of smobriety. Nine months of NOPE - Not One Puff Ever! I feel great and I am so very excited at having been able to make this happen. I say make this happen, because, yes there is all the giving over, all the positive thinking, all the imagining and visualization and constant energy of quitting. Then who actually gives over, creates the creation, but ourselves. Each one of us has the action and carries out the action. Each one of us has, within, the choice to either do or don't, move or not. I am just so very happy to be getting my life back. I celebrated this achievement by swimming farther yesterday that I have done. No, not the distance overall, my achievement yesterday was that I did continuos lengths without stopping and that was awesome. Swimming freestyle for twenty five meters and then twenty five metres more was pretty amazing. Considering in February I could get about 7 meters and have to stop. I am slowly getting my breath back. I hope that one day I will be able to swim freestyle/front crawl for 200 metres without stopping. I believe that this is achievable and I will make it happen. Thanks to some of you really awesome long time quitters you have been my models and my mentors, thanks to all my quit buddies who have kept me on track - through thick and thin, and thanks to everyone here. I am grateful for your constant and encouraging support, I am grateful that I can have a place to make my life manifest in word and deed. Happy, yes! Watchful, yes! Grateful and excited. Ciao - Have a lovely smoke free weekend. Cause my word if I can do this any one of you can. Phillip :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/17/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 273 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 6,835 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $2184 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 44 [B]Hrs:[/B] 13 [B]Mins:[/B] 27 [B]Seconds:[/B] 58

Hello old friend, Like you I just passed my 9 months AND... I've added something new. I've decided to start training for a marathon in June. My best long run is 4.5 miles and I'm going for 5 miles tomorrow... no stopping. I'm feeling good now, exercise really does help with this process. Congrats to you and all of the knights out there. I miss you guys... I'll be back for month 10,11, and 12. I look forward to all of your posts! Thanks for all that you do.
