Lisa V I Don't miss smoking anymore 2018 circa

I don't miss smoking anymore.

I don't know when it happened. Last night, I suddenly realized that I DON'T MISS IT....ANYMORE. Nil. Nada.

When I quit, I went through weeks and more than a few months MISSING cigarettes like crazy. I thought the cravings would NEVER go away. I couldn't stop thinking about how much I wanted one. I remember crying. I remember wanting to pull my hair out. I remember looking at my hands and thinking "What am I supposed to DO now?" I remember even thinking "if this is as good as it gets, I must learn to live with it". Guess what? There comes a day you don't have to "learn to live with it" anymore.

I don't miss the ritual of smoking anymore. I don't wonder about "lighting up" anymore. I don't accidently reach for a cigarette and realize I don't smoke anymore. I don't have cravings after I eat anymore. I don't want to light up when driving anymore.

It's true and I want to let you know so that you have something to look forward to. There will come a day when you do not

crave - want - agonize over - feel the urge - think about - cry over - cigarettes anymore.

You will have gone "through" it. Not around it. Not over it. Not under it. You will have gone through it and you will reap your reward. Which is:

You will be a non-smoker. You will find it unbelievable that you ever smoked those little devils. You will not crave them....in fact, you will hardly give them any thought at all. You will have made it to the other side. Life marches on. Quitting smoking, although a monumental decision, become a blip on the radar of life. You move on to other things in life...healthier things, wonderful things...all without the stench of a cigarette. You live life on your own

terms, not as a slave to a cigarette.

One thing you must never do is to become complacent. It's NOPE all the way, not one puff every. Because even though you make it to the other side, your cravings and constant thoughts are gone and you feel better than you have in years....you are only one puff away from a pack a day.
