2 Months Ago...

Two months ago yesterday at 6:30 I had my last cigarette. 27 years of having a cigarette in hand just stopped. I didn't think I would make it this long - I was hoping I would - but thought it was impossible. As it turns out, it is very difficult but not impossible. I don't feel like a nonsmoker yet and still fight the daily cravings but I am still optimistic these cravings will go away. I was getting frustrated the process of feeling good about not smoking is taking so long compared to others. I was a smoker for 27 years of my life - a nonsmoker the first 15. I have realized I am just learning how to live without what was such a big part of my life for so long. Baby steps....apparently that is how this process is going for me. I will get there - it's just taking me a bit longer.

Thank you Max for reminding me of the great things that are going on in my body from not smoking. You are right - I have no doubt my lungs are celebrating and my blood is moving along better then ever! Thanks Max for always being there when I need a pat on the back - I can feel it all the way over here! :)

Going to be 92 degrees and sunny today. Having a small pool party. My first one since I have qyuit smoking. Hopefully it won't be too hard. I realized I do not have any ash trays for my guests. My better half threw them all away. :rolleyes:

Well done Melzee - i am just behind you on 52 days - had a massively hard Friday night (whilst drinking a plenty) and thought it would be easier but as Max puts it so well - we have all been smokers for so long...and we are healing ourselves - what a beautiful gift.

Take care

Pool party went great - it was such a hot day. Only a couple of people there smoked - so I was not surrounded by it. I can only think of a couple of times I thought of a cigarette - but did not find it to be a struggle at all. Very happy with the way things went. And I don't have a horrible hangover!!!!
