Smelling the roses
Day two of my journey. Woke up to a glorious Autumn day and feeling rested. My usual routine would have been make cup of cofee, grab a cigarette andt sit on the deck with coffee and smoke. Today I still sat on the deck but with a coffee only. I thought about changing the ritual by not sitting on the deck and thus not associating it with smoking. But I love to watch the birds and enjoy the early morning quiet. I did naturally think about smoking but It didn't last long and I was enjoying feeling so good. The coffee tsted better too. I smelt the morning and it was beautiful. then off to my hairdresser. I could smell the gorgeous shampoo and conditioner they use and enjoyed our usual chat and laugh. Day two, and I feel fab, and smell that way too!
This is how I easily stopped smoking cigarettes about two years ago.

Dear Karren, I am happy for you. The other day I put on a smoke free dressing gown and had coffee on it's own too. I was in my garden with roses and birds. The morning smoke is usually the only one I enjoy but I didn't need it. Thanks for your post.
