Not having to time and coordinate my whole day around where and when I can smoke.

I love many things! 

That I’m not the odd one out going for a smoke. 

That I don’t schedule activities to guarantee cigarette breaks. 

That I can breathe. 

That I can use my wonderful perfumes. 

That I don’t get irritated because I want to smoke and can’t, and now I can enjoy time with friends and family. 

That I DID quit and it gave me a huge confidence boost, and a feeling that I can achieve anything. 

Everyday i discover new reasons why is it good not to smoke! 

[lml]

Time to do...nothing sometimes

Not thinking about how I am going to get in my next cig

Learning and seeing truths I was "unaware"

My daughter ... she is so patient and supportive. She makes me smile and laugh at myself.

Being free from having to have one, being free from nicotine commands, feeling very good about saying nope

My body and mind recovering

Being on this journey to find myself again

Love being able to be with family and friends without getting antsy about going for a smoke, then resenting their presence or mine and then feeling like a complete arse for those thoughts. 

 

Love being able to say "no thanks" or "sorry, I don't smoke". 

 

Love being able to give someone the biggest of hugs without worrying that they are hating the smoky smell. 

 

Love the extra cash.

As many above, I love the freedom.  It's Freedom I love.

For someone,  for whom Freedom is so important, I can no longer imagine why I would have ever subjected myself to the bondage of addiction.

I agree with all of the above.

But what I love the most is the look my grandchildren give me now and how they have responded to my quitting -- hard to put in words but it is there.

[Boo]

Everything.

 

Every single thing.

 

Not one aspect of my life has diminished by my refusal to smoke.  Quitting has proved so beneficial I won't even attempt a comprehensive list of improvements in my life.

 

Quitting gave me nothing, but promised to take everything.  That is the epitome of a raw deal.

 

 

[NADA]

I love that....

 

....quitting smoking is the ultimate recognition that life is good and worth fighting for.

I hate everything about being smoke free.

I laughed at this because there are moments when this would apply but not all the time.

 

I like having the black cloud go away. Nothing like knowing you are harming yourself, right?
