Healthy pink gums

 

 

How about you? What is it today specifically, that you love about being a non smoker?

 

Try to narrow it down to just 1 thing today. You can always post again tomorrow. :)

 

 

Go!

knowing I ALMOST caved yesterday I'm so thrilled I'm stil free and don't desire to smoke . My room smells of Jasmine, I smell nice and f it to all the smokers in the house. :D

I'm going to have the same type of answer Evelyn did: my house smells like red velvet cake candle, and instead of stale smoke, I smell like 'Venice Dolce Berry' (B&BW's). (Remember that from wayyyy back when Babs?)

Actually, on that note I'm going for a run. No more lazing about.

I love that I have much more energy!!

I love being able to breathe :)

Healthy pink gums

"Mr. Sarge - has anyone talked with you about <cue dramatic music> Periodontal Disease ... yadda yadda yadda ... "bone loss" ... blah blah blah ... surgery ... tooth loss and dentures ..."

 

Had the "scraping and planing"/deep-cleaning. The next step was the slicing-of-the-gums-so-we-can-really-get-all-up-in-there-to-clean surgery ...

 

All gone.

 

Not. A. Sign... of active gum disease.

 

All but disappeared when Sarge quit smoking.

 

"We tell everyone that quitting smoking is the best thing they can do ... but holy hell, nobody but nobody ever actually does it ... " Is what the Hygienist said.

 

Not a sign of gum disease in over 3 years.

 

 

Easy Peasy.

Oh this is easy for me....I love my feet....came dam close to losing them....

I can hit and hold notes while singing I never could before, and project!

Today, I love feeling free!

Can't help it, sorry... but I ALSO love not having to 'look over my shoulder'... :P

Love the absence of smoker's shame.

Life. 

 

Life truly rocks. 

 

:D

Not having to clear my throat every 5 minutes during presentations

Tasting food.

I love going swimming and not stressing about needing a fix :D Ok i need a Sugar stuffish thing I'm so happy I can swim without needing a f it fix of a smoke

Taking deep breaths with clean lungs...

That I am planning lots of trips with the kids this summer and don't have to find the smoking area and stop our fun anymore!

You know that tea kettle dog whistle sound, that you literally hear under your breath, but think is coming from somewhere else? And when you realize it's you, you panic, because it won't go away, and now you've finally done it. And what if it never goes away? What if...

 

 

 

I love never hearing that sound.

 

 

* edited to add knock wood no jinxies cross my heart.

Today I love....getting through cardio class without feeling like I'm gonna die. It's still tough physically...buy my breathing and endurance is awesome. Feels like I never smoked.

having extra money  

Fresh Air

Clean clothes smell, I love the smell all day long

Today I love feeling richer!!

I love...putting a finger up to the tabacco companies...I'm not giving you any more of my money...

Today I love......not wishing my life away by worrying about when and where my next smoke will be. I am present. :)
