Two Thousand And FREE Days!
Today is 2003 smoke free days. My how time flies! Here I am almost 5 and half years later still taking joy in seeing others find there freedom too.
I guess that is what raises my dopamine as does helping others and spending time with those that I care about.
I spend my time these days playing shuffleboard, cards and other activities in our seniors group and love my active life. I could not do these things if I still smoked, as there are no breaks. I would have passed on this and missed out on making new friends and getting enjoyable exercise had I still smoked.
Smoking chained us in so many ways and restrictions in later years made it even more difficult. I only wish I had quit sooner or better still, never started .Quitting smoking needs not be just a wish but a goal.
Be all you can be..
Believe!
Wow , congrats 🎉 on your achievement .
I loved your title “ two thousand and free days “ . Good to be free isn’t it . You certainly are reaping some awesome benefits and good things from your quit . I think it’s endless . Just when you think it couldn’t get any better it surprises and still does .
Thats a wonderful achievement Happiness. I think I understand why you used my last post to raise the issue/s with admin, however I wouldn't have minded being asked by you first. Never mind, I hope these issues get resolved. For you and others. I feel that using this site requires my honesty, and as I have just been through a series of very stressful events in my life I smoked my way through 3 packs, because my cravings for nicotine got the better of me. I now have to quit again, and I can only say that I have learnt a great deal, and that I am motivated to stay quit this time. I need my health
I plan to fight for my freedom, and this time I will win with no debate, as you put it. I'm trying to get a balance this time, so that I'm in a space of full acceptance about not smoking. I'm not sure why it has been so hard for me to remain quit in the past. Is my addiction deeper than most people's? I feel i need to understand why Iv'e smoked again when stress can be dealt with more and better when you are not a smoker.
