One day at a time

Hi everyone, today I am 6 Weeks cigarette free! I am feeling so proud of myself! I can actually see my life now as a non smoker and it's good. I am still having thoughts about smoking but I ask myself, what is the benefit of smoking for me and all I get is it gives me a moment's distraction?,from the hole in my soul? But with it comes illness, disease and even a death sentence, that is so not worth it and not what I want for me. So I will fill the hole in my soul with loving myself and never filling it with cigarette smoke or any other toxic substances again, amen. One day at a time we can do it.🙌🙌🙌

well done Miss lizzy you are doing great !!
yeah after 6 weeks is there one good reason to smoke none I can think of !!
easy bloody hell no worth its bloody hell yes I was knockin on heavens door maybe I have bought myself some time still not to well but so much better than if I had been smoking the last 95 days.

Day 18 for me.....am so amazed I am doing this! Getting ready to ride my bicycle to a Yoga class by the river....what a great way to start a Saturday morning! I am breathing better, sleeping better, no coughing...physically, I am great! Emotionally, still cry at the smallest thing, and get irritated quickly! Will be happy when my emotions level out. Reached for a cigarette yesterday, just a subconscious thing.?.no cigarettes on my nightstand.
