12 weeks today

I have reached 12 Weeks today, cigarette free and I am really proud of myself😍 I am still having thoughts about smoking, but also glimpses of life as a non smoker, and that is pretty good! The last few weeks have not been easy for me at all, with p.t.s.d., triggers, unemployment and being single, but I have done it because I am doing this for me. When it's got really tough, I have to ask myself what benefit will smoking a cigarette give me? And all I get is nothing?, it won't cure my p.t.s.d., it won't make me look better, it won't erase my past, it won't get me a job, and it won't magically change one thing in my life by puffing on a smoke, but by not smoking I am changing my life.😍 I can breathe better, big deep breathes, I look better, no more black circles under my eyes and my skin has colour (not gray), I can deal with my p.t.s.d. better, with breathing, and it will help with my confidence in finally getting a job and maybe even a boyfriend? So quitting smoking is the most positive and loving thing that I can do for myself now and always xxx

well done Miss Lizzy you deserve all the benefits of being smoke free , seen how hard you have worked and I do understand, and no a smoke wont solve or fix anything.
