It is always amazing when you leave an addiction behind and have the clarity to see it for what it is. Very refreshing thank you for sharing that insight.

Was not quite sure how to make a blog but I think this might work. So Saturday I found myself fondly missing smoking. It was a strange trigger as most people wouldn't agree but the cigarettes I miss the most are the ones after a heavy workout and yes I smoked after heavy exercise, also after serious hiking trips or kayaking adventures. When I was totally exhausted and exhilarated I enjoyed those the most. Saturday the weather was absolutely beautiful hit the gym for an intense full body work out then went home cleaned the entire house two floors, did a few loads of wash then stopped and felt lost. Normally at this point it would be time to go and sit out side in the sunshine and relax for a bit and yes normally a cigarette would be involved. I went through the whole mental processes of reminding myself you are a non-smoker and yes I am happy I am a non-smoker. Somehow the afternoon felt anticlimactic without the aaaaahhh moment. I tried drinking water, sucking on a mint, taking deep breaths finally I just went and took a shower but it really felt that the day was incomplete. Thankfully Sunday rolled around and off to church which always makes the weekend complete and exercise in the fresh air. I definitely feel that Saturdays are the hardest the good thing is I can exhaust myself to the point the day is over. Now it is Monday and my mind is clear again and so is my resolve. :-)

Happy Monday and NOPE NOPE NOPE

There is a TV show featuring hardest or grossest jobs I recall seeing it once and thinking WOW that puts things in perspective LOL

I only have one son and I guess if he came to me to say he was gay I would be sad. I would love him just as much but it would mean the end of the family line. I have gay girlfriends and bi friends I guess I can understand bi easier as variety is the spice of life. To each is own we are only on the earth for one go round so might as well find happiness wherever we can

NOPE

NOPE :-)

Welcome aboard. I didn't do much preparation other than getting Chantix from my doctor. The triggers was my Mom being diagnosed with a second type of lung cancer after she went through treatment a year prior. Watching her go through chemo and radiation has helped keep me determined. And at this point it is so freeing to not feel the pull of the nicotine addition during the day. That NEED is gone and that it AMAZING....

Great Job!

NOPE

Happy Birthday

Happy Hump Day! :D

Welcome it is great that you found this site. It has helped me to come and read and browse to supplement smoking breaks. I am a good sleeper so have nothing helpful sorry. I do tend to work out at night as by the time I leave work from sitting all day I am full of energy sometimes to much so LOL.

That is amazing and so nice that you took the time to pop back in so Thank you. :)
