After pack a day for 10 years, I'm 2 months smoke free today. I'm really happy that I reached this milestone. I wanted to thank all the members and administrators in this wonderful community to help me get here. Without you guys, I'm not sure if I could have reached this far.
The last couple of weeks have been fairly easy. The still get the urges, especially after a meal or a stressful meeting in the office. I keep repeating to myself, "If you smoke one, what you gain is nothing compared to what you lose". I trained my brain to take the most logical choice and it has responded well so far.
I'm not going out with friends as much as I used to (just once since I quit), but I'm spending lot of time with my family and my 18 month old son (my biggest motivation to quit). Below is the picture of my handsome boy, who has helped me go through some of the toughest withdrawal phases.

Not only should you feel great about adding the extra healthy time with your adorable son, but also the example you are setting for him in regard to strength, and commitment to health.
My mum used to avoid my kids when she went out to smoke, that was all well and good but I really felt sad she spent so much time smoking or thinking about smoking when she could have been with them. You are your son's hero, example and role model. He's going to love spending time with you. He's gorgeous☺️
Huge well done Ashwing on 2 mths quit👍you're certainly reaping the benefits and kids certainly help us along the way ☺
