Hi Tony,
When you look at some stats of 'oldies' like me, the idea of being quit that long seems impossible. I remember being in awe of people who had long quits, and I also wondered how they felt....
Well, for me, after 40 years of smoking, it was an enormous life change. I was just explaining to someone the other day that I had never been an adult without a cigarette in my hand until this quit. That's a scary thought! I had a lot of 'growing up' to do... I had to learn to control my emotions, to learn anger management, to cope with weight gain, to organise my life differently and on and on....it was huge!
BUT...I have also regained my self-esteem, felt a new sense of power within me at the massive task I have completed, feel such a wonderful freedom in my life to begin again.
My only regret is that I wasted those 40 years, but I live true to my Mantra...
NEVER LOOK BACK, THE FUTURE IS AHEAD!!!
Lolly. :)
