I love this post. Maybe this is going to sound terrible, but for me smokers are all inhabiting "The Land of the Crazies" -- and with them, insanity abounds. I kept trying to quit over the past few years, and I had one so-called-friend, a smoker, who kept saying, "You know you aren't going to quit forever, so, here, take one of mine..." and it was then and there I realized the land of the crazies was just where all the addicts were hanging out. I have only been smoke free for a few weeks, but it was around the holidays and the new year that I realized I could no longer be influenced by crazies. That is the important message for me in this post. I always allowed a lot of unnecessary stress in my life. Now that I am not smoking I can't afford to take on extra stress. Whatever makes me feel like smoking...if I have the power to let it go...it has to go. This isn't hard. This is heaven on earth! PS For the first time in my life I have no smoker friends! That means, a lot less friends. Haha. But I am sure, in time, that will change. Today I met a bunch of Quit Train people and I feel already that you are friends, and kindred souls, on this beautiful journey! Blessings, all!
