Leeann B Quitting smoking is the best thing I ever did for myself 2017

Quitting smoking is the best thing I ever did for myself. I feel so much healthier and not just physically, which to be honest at the beginning of this journey I thought would be the only benefit, but it's not. I didn't realise the mental grip this addiction had on me. I realise now that I never really enjoyed anything I did before quitting because I was always thinking how long before I can get my next fix, I used to cut time with my loved ones short so that I could go off and feed my addiction and even when I was in their company I wasn't really there because I was distracted with the need to smoke That is no way to live. I love the people in my life and now feel horrified that I only gave them a small part of myself because my addiction was controlling me and always pulling me in a different direction. Some of us rush our kids to bed so that we can get our fix, yet with the global wars going on there our people out there praying to the gods to get just another 5 minutes with their loved ones. And the reality is... if you really think about what we get from smoking... it is simple not worth it. Because it gives us NOTHING, it doesn't even give us a buzz so why do we sacrifice so much for it.

And so yeah the mental freedom I have gained from this quit has been worth every emotional fu%kwittery moment I have gone through, because I have gained so much more in return
