The game... I don't get to play any where near as often and I would like. My dad is the same and two of the three kids are grown and gone now. My how things change in 7 years. Not only did I complete my Bachelors, I went on and got my Masters. I have an awesome job and if I remember correctly, I don't work far from you now. I work in Blythewood, SC.
Yes the fight was rough and it was hard but now it is smooth sailing. Never thought I would be able to say that. I see you are still around helping newbies get their quit on. I recongize quite a few names around here.
I remember every day of your quit........at least for the first few years. I know how you fought to gain your freedom and the stress that you were under with your father and kids plus going back to college to gain your degree. I commend you for your success and the spirit in your new non smoking life. Jeri lots of love and continued success.
What true words! Quitting was also the hardest thing I did, but the rewards have been so huge, it made the effort so worthwhile. I do hope that lots of new quitters read your post.
Congratulations on 7 years! It is amazing how quickly the time passes. We went through many a hard day together my friend!
"every day is one day closer to never feeling this way again."
What powerful words Lady.
WOW - 7 Years!! First of all, CONGRATULATIONS! What an inspiration you are. Secondly, so great to hear from you. Thank you for sharing and giving hope to so many members on this site!
How have you rewarded yourself for being smoke-free over the years?
No way! Me who could barely go 70 minutes without a smoke, has been smoke free 7 years and I actually lost count of the time. Unreal!
I'm so glad to be able to type the line above. Quitting was the greatest thing I ever did and it changed my life in so many ways. I'm a totally different person. So much happier, successful, grounded, stable, and alive. My dad has COPD and everyday I listen as he struggles for breath. I thank God for the strength and for those on this very site that helped me give up this horrible addiction.
I may have lost count on the days but I won't ever forget those who helped me as I kicked, screamed and cried along the way. I am eternally grateful.
If you think quitting is impossible, just don't lite that next cigarette and you will turn that impossible in to possible.
One phrase I always held on to as I was getting over smoking was "every day is one day closer to never feeling this way again." It took a really long time but somewhere along the road I started to feel better and began to live my new life. Quitting smoking was the hardest thing I have ever done, but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. You can keep those stinky cigarettes. I don't want one!
Live your life and stop being a slave to the cigarettes! You CAN do it!!!!
