270 days of freedom today
Today is day 270 of freedom from the cigarettes and their foul smell.
I work in the health industry and used to hate the fact that I used to smell of smoking and people would notice it and make comments behind my back.
After 44 years of being slave to the addiction, I have made 270 days of freedom from that foul smell and the devastating effects smoking has had on my health.
It was nowhere near as hard as I had imagined. Champix proved a miracle drug to me, took away the edge of the cravings and helped me see things for what they really are.
Now I truly pity people standing outside in a corner somewhere puffing away when I walk past and remember vividly how I used to be one of those self-imposed outcasts
I am up to day 158. Hopefully never to take a backwards step. I didn't like what woke me up during the night! I sounded like I had emphysema. Breathing easy now. And very importantly I am no longer one of those social outcasts. Be it local or global. Smokers everywhere are being made to feel they are missing out because they are...
Congratulations and thank you for coming back to report in - it means the world for those of us marching in your footsteps.
