Yep. Yet when I was smoking, I convinced myself that I wasn't a "heavy smoker." I never did really quantify what counts as a heavy smoker, but I told myself I wasn't one. Hello denial my old friend...

Good work Doreen!

Thirteen-months ago I smoked my last cigarette. Not that long in the grand scheme of things. And in that relatively short period of time, I have avoided smoking 10,000 cigarettes. Here's a little visual representation of what that amount of cigarettes looks like... Good riddance.

On the bright side, at least you have the standard number of wisdom teeth. At one point I had six wisdom teeth removed (four on the top and two on the bottom). A couple of years later another wisdom tooth on the upper right side started breaking through. That's seven wisdom teeth removed and with the money I spent, I helped put an oral surgeon's kid through college. Open wide...

Oh!

Getting bad news at the doctor's office is the big fear of every smoker. What's rarely thought about by smokers, it goes practically unnoticed, is the general malaise that is part and parcel of being a smoker. Long before any terminal prognosis, the effects of poisoning yourself intermittently all-day everyday takes a toll on your general well being. I didn't have any serious health concerns when I quit. "I feel pretty good...for now." What I wasn't seeing was the potential to feel much better. I didn't really feel good when I was smoking, I just felt normal. Normal for a smoker. It wasn't until I quit that I really began to feel truly good again. It's one thing to tiptoe through without stepping on any landmines for one more day. It's an altogether different experience to actually achieve your physical and mental potential.

You get enough repetitions under your belt and eventually not smoking feels as normal as smoking once did. With time, patience, and persistence the process becomes instinctive.

Happy 30th Natalie.

NOPE!

Screw it! Abandon thread.
