Hi everyone,

Ive been MIA as had started smoking again (secretly, as i was mortified about it) for a spell.. a close friend passed away suddenly , it was/is hard, i miss him.. besides excuses, i did feel awful about going back to smoking, in so many ways, but im back on the wagon! 23 days smoke free..

the only thing im using in its place is exercise and more exercise. Which means i can also eat a lot and not gain:)

I realised again, what a horrible addictive drug this smoking crap is, and how mentally dependent id become on it over the years. Its awful and crafty and sneaky and wants to kill us slowly and make us think we want it ! We dont want it!! To hell with smoking and all of its so called joys! Joys? Hah! I almost thought i couldnt live happily without it, so much had it duped me! Screw that sh*t. ๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿ˜† life is so beautiful, and we are blessed for every (clear) breathe we have.

Hope everyone is well โค๏ธ

I had the odd bad craving until 2 days ago. Once i hit 3 weeks it seems different- i dont seem to crave at all.. but im expecting there will be times i may.. once i get to 6 months ill feel safer:)

Wish u all a lovely beautiful night/day depending on where u are in the world:)

NB: im also falling in love , after such a long time of being single.. i think itโ€™s helping bigtime๐Ÿ˜† โค๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Š everything seems rosy and pretty and lovely ๐Ÿ™„ yes i sound dorky:) yay whooop ๐ŸŽˆsending positive vibes!!! ๐Ÿ˜˜

Great post well done .. Like the positive attitude and fight...Glad you quit again and this is your time to nail it..If you want it so badly like you do it spells success ...!

Welcome back.

Hey, it happens lady. We quit, we begin, we quit, we begin. Cudos to you for doing it. When you completely stop trying is giving in. Be proud and strong. Reach out next time for support.

Congratulations on new love, enjoy every minute of it. Keep up the positive attitude and fight this habit.
