I had the most productive day in years yesterday totally took my dining room apart cleaned ready for painting , and whilst I was a woman on a mission I worked out that I would have smoked approx 10 ciggies during the day adding up to about an hour plus smoking and making the cup of coffee to go with the ciggie. Then I got thinking (not a good thing for me lol) how much of my life have I actually wasted just standing there smoking. I am feeling so happy right now with every day that passes and the craving creeps in I have the strength to think of the motto NOPE.
Sorry for my ramble just hope it gives someone else a plus for quitting.

lol it has taken a number of years to convince hubby we don't need half the junk (not junk to him) but he thinks I have turned in to psycho woman whilst quitting.
Yet another positive of quitting as I am having my own way as he doesn't want to upset me
I found this out on my last quit. I was shocked at how much time, energy, and money this horrid habit took from me. So pleased to be free and to have so much more time for me โบ
15 years same house, 1 hubby 2 boys I am totally outnumbered had a hissy fit and declared tools remote control cars/robots etc are not essential in the dining room, the blank expressions of wonderment and awe that I had said those words out loud was priceless.
Mrssunnyside I can sympathise decorating is not a word in my hubbys vocabulary.
Hmmmmm! If we add up all the time lost smoking over the years & compared with non smokers, why is it still Saturday for both smokers & non smokers. Maybe it's better to look at the extra days we have ahead than the days lost in the past.
I am looking to the future smoke free, but when the cravings kick in it spurs me on to say NOPE and encourage me further to stay on this smoke free path and know I won't waste any more time having that 1 ciggie
