30 Days and Counting!

So, I have not had a cigarette for 30 days. After spending almost 8 years smoking half a pack a day and never making it longer than a week on any previous quit attempt, this feels PRETTY DAMN GOOD.

I can honestly say that I don't even think about smoking 90% of the time, and when I do, it's only usually because I am seeing someone smoke. Sometimes I get a really strong, mouthwatering craving, but it passes really quick.

I spent all today having footraces with my nieces and stepson, I didn't run out of breath once! Quitting is amazing, I don't feel like I am missing anything at all.

I want to put this up as encouragement for those who think they will forever be pining away for a smoke. There will come a day where you FORGET that you used to have to have a butt every couple of hours!! Then you'll see some poor schmuck out in the cold and think, "Wow, it's so awesome not to have to do that shit anymore!"

Good luck!
