Hey, surprise to see my name in one year lights. This is absolutely amazing to realize that
I’ve come this far. I recently went to
search back to that first time I posted here and was surprised to read that I
was like a little baby being born in a new non smoking world. I knew I wanted to quit but I wasn’t sure
how I was going to survive and make it happen. Thanks to SSC for coming to my rescue because
it really made a difference. I now see many new babies being born on SSC and I
want to tell them all that it’s not only doable but you will become a wonderful
new person from doing so in the best of ways.
I can tell you that it’s been the first year in which I actually
remember most of it in detail. When I
look back in my smoking past I just remember them as a blur. I think its part to the fact that when all
you are doing is thinking about cigarettes every hour of the day and getting
your next fix, it’s very hard to actually enjoy your everyday life. Since one year ago today I have begun to live
again. I’m not only willing to take more
risks but I’m able to listen better, to feel again, and best of all to accept
once again who I am. Yes as children we never really needed those cigarettes
right? It’s definitely been a road that
has taken some wild turns at different points, but once you go through them you
realize that the outcome was much better handled without that filthy cigarette
out of hand. So in the spirit of rewards
I went to a great festival this last weekend near where I live called Harmony Festival
