Happy To Be A Non-Smoker

Posted 05 July 2013 - 06:10 PM

Like the title says :D . I am so happy to be a non-smoker that I FINALLY threw out my ashtray. Before I quit, I made sure there were no cigarettes left. The ashtray, on the other hand I wasn't ready to get rid of so soon. You see, I don't think I believed that I could quit. I'm going to be honest and say I did not expect my quit to last even a day. "Clearly, you were wrong", says the ticker. Never have I been so happy to be wrong. It's almost like pinching yourself to check if you are dreaming. Only instead of pinching, I keep looking at my ticker.

Not only did I toss out the ashtray, but I found an old coffee can with butts in it - I forced myself to open the can and take a big whiff. Uh, nasty or as we say around here wicked nasty. Definitely a motivator not to smoke :).

Now it's not all rainbows and sunshine and I know there will be plenty of speed bumps along the way. That's why I'm here. I think I finally realized that it's possible to not smoke and I CAN do this :D .
