Something Good about not smoking

[Gabby]

Somebody said I should let you all know something good about not smoking I think it was Marti because she is a wise chicky.

I have sent my son on a cruise around the islands with the money I would have smoked.  It wasn't a strain to find it.  And he said he is having the time of his life.  He said " he will never forget this thanks mum "

So much better than burning the money.    

Makes me feel much better than smoking ever did.

 

 

Would never have got this far without your help each and everyone of you

 

Quitting smoking is the best thing I have ever done. :wub:

The Bay of Islands?  So beautiful.

 

Gabby, would you mind if everyone posted their "something" on this thread?

Aww Gabby that's amazing - I love this!!  I bet he is having a ball! Thing is, he will remember that trip for all of his life (thus is the pull of our nature to explore) and you wouldn't have remembered each cigarette so this is an utter win win...exactly this is what makes us hold on.  You're an amazing woman and mum (mom?) :) xx

 

Runfree, I love your idea :)  Sure Gabby wouldn't mind or start another thread so it doesn't get lost on this one? Up to you. xx

[Gabby]

Yes everybody should put something good, great idea

Renewed confidence.

Something good...

 

Miss 9 is about to go to martial arts class, Miss 5 went to swimming lessons yesterday, I joined a gym on Sunday. All paid for by money I would have wasted smoking and killing myself quicker. Love this new chance in life. xx

Something good...

 

I show up at the Physical Therapist's office 100% deconditioned, wrapped in tape and having to relearn how to walk, but I don't have the added shame of showing up as a stinky, out of breath smoker.

Gabby.

 

Seriously cool Mum.

 

For me? Respect. Tough addiction? Done it. Beat it. I am the boss of me.

I kicked drugs and alcohol, now I am kicking nicotine, next I am gonna drop some weight and become a running fool, yo.

 

Is there a Scottish equivalent to "yo"?

[Gabby]

Yes I am a cool mum, because I wanted to push him out of the way and go myself HaHa
