Nothing Exploded

Nothing exploded. I gave up smoking and stuff carried on as normal, the world didn't blow up nor did I fall over and curl into a ball - things carried on.

 

Stuff still happened that annoyed me, stuff still happened that made me happy and I dealt with that stuff - stuff is easy without smoke, you find a way in the end.

 

It's almost 3 months for me after 25 years of smoking, the most annoying thing about the quit is that I didn't do it sooner. I'm not talking about those half arsed quits, you know the ones that smokers do, bit like a game. I mean a real quit - why didn't I reach this frame of mind before.

 

Sure, I'm a little jagged around the edges, a bit raw, but you know what it's kinda nice not to be numb to the world.

 

So if you have stumbled across these few words and are thinking about stopping smoking, then do it - it really is that simple and only you can make the choice. Your first step to taking control is making that decision.

Don't we all start to think the same thing of how great it would be to have done this sooner.

 

I'm pretty excited for you for when those edges start to iron out!

 

You are doing amazingly well :)

Quitting smoking is easy...just nope. Don't take even one puff. However, quitting smoking is complicated. The evil demon manufacturers of cigarettes are working hard to keep addicts addicted...with thousands of chemicals introduced into cigarettes. You may not choose to see this as a political war, or as a socioeconomic war...but it is. You were unable to quit in the past because the cigarette barons were winning the war. They didn't  care if they stepped over your dead body, as long as you gave them 40 to 50 years of daily payment. This is about money. So your freedom is not only about the preciousness of your human life...if is a political act of defiance against those who  counted on your weakness to extort money from you. Do you understand the importance of this victory? It is BIG. Stand tall, be joyful. Realize the battle you have won is a huge victory. You have gone up against Big Demons, and you have won. That makes you a hero. You didn't  simply give up. You gained your life...you came back, and you fought and won this battle. This is possibly the most important year of your life. Yes, it's that BIG. Well done, you.
