July 23, 201412 yr Thank you one and all! Everyone can give themselves a pat on the back for helping me quit and change my life for the better! I hope everyone can break free from smoking and regain their health and life.I have never described the beginning of my quit since I didn’t find the forum until I was quit for about a week and because I didn’t want it to seem like a plea for sympathy. On July 22 just before midnight I put out my last cigarette and threw the remaining ones in the trash. On July 23 at 5 o’clock in the morning my mother-in-law passed away. She was a beautiful woman and had her faculties even at 94 years. When I would push her wheelchair from bingo back to her room, I’d ask, “Stairs or the elevator?” and she always said elevator.So I quit on a day of sorrow but I never connected quitting with what was happening in my life, they were different things. Stress and grief were going to happen in my life whether I smoked or not. Smoking would not make it better, only worse. Smokers will lie to themselves and say that they will wait for a good time to quit. The good time to quit is right now, yesterday was a better time to quit, and a year ago was really good for me.I'll make dinner on Saturday to celebrate!
July 23, 201412 yr Many congratulations to you Paul, I knew you would reach and year and have no doubt you will be free for the rest of your fantastic life xx
