35 Days Im Succeeding

schedule 22 Aug 2017

Today I realized that I am at 35 days without smoking. I quit cold turkey over a month ago because I had finally had enough. I was probably like alot of smokers out there waking up in the morning coughing up every color in the phlegm rainbow. I couldnt smell the food I was cooking. My clothes constantly had to be sprayed because I smelled like smoke. My kids would suffer with me anywhere I went and I put them in danger of second hand smoke. And every time I wanted a cigarette I robbed my family and friends of moments and memories with me. I missed important times because taking a drag from something that gave me no benefit had a harder pull on me than the people who cared about me. I didnt have the energy that I was supposed to have. I slowly dragged my body down and killed it slowly. Thats what I lived for. Now I spend the days cleaning my house. I have noticed I dont have to dust as often. I wake up in the morning and have the energy to get through the day. I dont spend my first 30 minutes clearing my lungs and struggling to get my breathe. The first 30 days were hard. I thought for sure I would fail. But I noticed the more I wanted it the easier it got. I put my life first. I put my future ahead of the crap. Alot of people ask me how I did it and how they could succeed doing it and all I said was if you really wanted it than it would be a piece of cake. Until your ready no matter the amount of substitutes no matter the pills you take or how many vapes you try. When your really done killing yourself YOU WILL QUIT>
