    Early Blessings

    By Ramona,

    After just a week! The early (and many) blessings:



    Achieving that truly full breath at last (phew, my lungs still work)
    Appetite is back and food tastes good
    I feel more confident
    Not afraid of tomorrow's 1.5 hour drive and winter hike with 3 never-smokers
    Don't have to worry how badly I smell during my therapy group
    Money not spent on butts
    I feel more relaxed and calm in the morning (no rush out of bed for nicotine fix)
    Not worried I'll smell during Monday's job interview
    Back on the QT ;)

    Cigarettes are a big "f*ck you" to the world. To smoke is to wordlessly show others that you wish to take a dump upon your own existence. Like, "I didn't ask for this lifetime of slavery to both time & money so you can take this life and shove it up your ass" sort of thing.
     
    However,
     
    To...
    take deep breaths
    love food
    grow more intimate
    be vulnerable
    acknowledge grief
     
    Is to...
    Embrace life.
     
    And for those of us out there/here that don't find the human experience as fantastic as others find it, it can be a rough transition.
     
    Death? I look forward to existing as pure energy and spirit. In the meantime I don't want to feel sick in my physical body. I'm stuck in this thing any way so I should probably make it less painful (and smelly).
     
    In a few hours I will have achieved 5 full days without smokes or nicotine. Aside from a couple anxiety attacks, it has been smooth sailing. As is often said, not smoking is the natural way, after all.

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
