the big six M

[nsd_user663_14771]

six months today... or as i just said to a friend, six months since i've been happy lol

but things are getting better, i've definitely reached the corner, it's long and slow but i can see the curve!

i don't smell bad

i can breath easy

my skin is much clearer

no more ash on surfaces

my thinking is way clearer

im saving heaps of money...

...and spending it on food!

i'm less stressed about everything

i'm a better friend to my friends, even when i'm grumpy!

i'm a member of a wonderful forum for ex nicotine addicts!

i don't cough and wheeze like i used to

no more holes in clothes/furniture/me!

colds don't knock me out for days

sometimes i have good days

non-smokers like me!

i like me!!

YAYYYYY!

It's so great to have those moments, when you have that 'light bulb' moment wake up to how much better your life really is without cigarettes - when you don't just say all that stuff, but you really feel it. And when you can see yourself as a genuine non smoker, instead of just someone who is temporarily not smoking.

I am so glad you're reaching that point, because I know its been a struggle. You have done SO BLOODY WELL and you should be SO BLOODY PROUD.

Well done 5mol<er. 6 Months is massive and from what I have seen before from others is that it can be a big turning point.

You should be really very proud of yourself. 1/2 a year smoke free, go you !!!!

One day at a time I guess

Congratulations and love the list

Do people really smoke in the bath :eek:

Way, way back when my husband and I were both smoking and we smoked indoors, I used to 'enjoy' a glass of wine and a fag or two in the bath whilst reading a good book. It's not a pretty thought is it!

Hey 5mol<er!

Been waiting to see this post I know you had some really rough times so I'm so happy to see that long list of advantages that you're feeling. I especially like the last one! You being happy with yourself is all that matters, and you've worked super hard to get to where you are.

Well done on your six months and a great post luring all of those coming along behind you on the path.

What's your 6 month treat - imagine mine was food related, probably cupcakes with loads of butter icing and jelly thingies.
