smoking

i quit smoking on 12/6/09 which was a sunday. today is now 1/4/10 and it's a monday. that means i have been completely smoke free for 4 weeks and 1 day. that's the longest i quit since a few years ago when i stopped for 5 months. i have officially beaten the 3 week record i had last november when i was preggers.

go me!!!!

i can already feel that i'm breathing better. i can taste my food more, and i have a better sense of smell. i can feel my chest not gasping for air when i walk up the stairs now. it's amazing that this one little thing can do soo much for me. i'm not even tempted anymore when i smell it or see someone smoking on tv.

i can also tell when someone isn't going to quit when they say they will. it's horrible to say but i just have a feeling that one of my friends is going down a path she won't be able to come back from. she attempted to quit smoking, having her last on new years eve. well half way into new years day she was suckin down 2 at a time. i can relate because i've been there and done that, and made the same excuses. but now i don't have any excuses. i just have me.

i am a nonsmoker - and i'm proud.
