Congrats Diane on your first week over and done...... Here's to week 2..

[Diane R]

Thanks everyone. My granddaughter is watching her show. Her words lol. She very busy lol. She 5 going on 30. So funny. She heard me tell her mom I quit smoking and she said now nana you don’t have to go smoke anymore. I certainly don’t want her to pick it up ever. Another good reason to quit and stay quit!

You see! Decisions you make (good or bad) affect others in ways you are sometimes not even aware of. I'm sure your Grand Daughter is very happy her Gramma doesn't smoke anymore  

[Diane R]

She happy I have more time to do things with her. My grandson is older and he hates smoking. He very happy I don’t smoke. He doesn’t want me to die from it.

Great job Diane. I used another app that gave me badges and told me the health improvements I was achieving. I too found it motivating. 

Keep up the good work. You’re doing this!

I am so glad you are beginning to reap the rewards of being smoke free.

The gifts will continue and expand.  Learning to live free is v. exciting.

 

It was only after I quit that I realized how living creatures around me were truly affected by my addiction.

My denial ran v. deep.

Congrats Diane  

[Diane R]

Sazerac I think everyone’s denial runs very deep. An addict will, say or do anything to get their fix. Ours just happens to be a legal drug. Every time I am doing something that I would have a cigarette after I say I don’t smoke. And I say it out loud. It seems to be working for me, at least for now. I want to get that mindset  instilled in my brain.

Yes, that's how it's done !  I said, Free Your Head !

I am so glad you quit, it is inspiring, Diane.

Nice positive outlook towards your quit @Diane R , you seem happy with your quit and that is also important. Smile a lot and think "How awesome, I quit, I quit smoking!!!"

[Diane R]

Ankush I’m very happy with my quit. I planned for it and waited until our family vacation was over. I didn’t think 7 grandkids 3 of ours kids and their spouses would be a good time to quit. We have a couple of grandsons that are hard to handle. Always into something lol. I started my Chantix the Monday we got back. So I was prepared for this quit. Hope you quit is going good.

[Ankush]

@Diane R So far, my quit is fine.
