Great Post MLMR! Not only are you changing what for years you never thought you could, but soon you feel the strength (that was always there) to change other things too.

You've changed and it's good.

There is a saying- "There is no extra credit for making quitting harder." I avoided places where I would smoke for the first few months of my quit.

There are a lot of toxins leaving your system now Lilly; the first two weeks are the worst but they will pass. Your body will heal itself if you give it a chance to do so after years of abuse. Come here as much as you need, we are all wanting you to succeed.
