572 days smoke free

I cant believe it is so long since I had a cig. I have now gotton to the stage that when things happen I dont think about reaching for a cigarette, I can deal with what life throws at me without my crutch.

I am so much happier and also now that time has passed more relaxed. Cigarettes where my ,what I believed my stress relief, now I am so much more relaxed I am sure that they caused me to feel so up tight.

My eating is now settled as well , the weight is coming back off because I can now do things I wanted to do like ride a bike with ease, walking without feeling tired, and recently started swimming and GUESS WHAT? I can swim like when I was a kid without be knocked up, I actualy enjoy it more.

I have found the freedom I had as a child, you know, the feeling of movement without hinderance of a addiction. I have a new lease on life it is the healthiest I have felt in so long. I can take a deep breath... yes I know we all can.. but this is different I can actually feel ALL my lungs getting the air and I can even hold my breath a little longer.

Oh there is sooo much I wish I could explain to you so you keep on your Journey the excitement and happiness, freedom I wish I could convey to you all that I want you as well experience.

Keep on the journey, it will be hard as all sh.. to be honest and once you know there isnt any short cuts or easy fixes and you MUST go through it the sooner you will win the battle but you must give in and own the discomfort it is going to put you through by giving up and not giving in to its hold over you.

It is very hard it is like torture but just remember it wont last forever there is a light at the end of the tunnel and it is the brightest you will ever see, no its not a train it will feel like it, emotions can be torture, work through it get the mind thinking of other things.

I am raving now. GO FOR IT and just do it. I am loving life again. Take care and be kind to yourself.
