Wow 6 months ,I am so Happy to have reached this milestone.
Thank you to all on this site for helping me by sharing your experiences and for all your encouragement.
In the beginning the days seemed so long and I felt so disconnected.I was always a very organized in control type
and suddenly getting dressed and off to work was such a hard task and I couldn't focus for any length of time.Just
the thought of making it through the day played me out yet I couldn't sleep at night.Reading the posts here let me know
I wasn't alone and things would get better.
Now I am feeling very strong in Health and Mind other than the cold I have and I am so glad I kept saying just one more
day and it will be better.
They say ex smokers are the worst nags but I don't have to be.
The fact that I quit after forty years has helped to boost my Families courage.
My Partner in Life is now at 3 months and we have 3 other family members at various points in their quits.
Not too many more to go to have a Smoke Free Family, what a Pleasant thought.
Other than the fact I am still trying to loose the weight I gained I feel great.
The summer months are going to bring more triggers (like the first camping trip as a non-smoker )but I will be ready for them.
I will never go back ,Life is too good without it.
I am rewarding myself but have to wait till April 5th when I will visit Santa Monica for a week.
Wishing Strength to All
N.O.P.E.
Sherry
