There are times in our lives when everything seems to fall into place. And we achieve things that we never thought possible. This is what happened to me. Today I am six months smoke free!!! I am amazed. I am grateful. I am happy. I read so many posts advising to take your time and plan your quit. And I understand why, for some, this might work. For me - being inpatient, and all - "taking my time" would mean keep on smoking till everything is "just right". And we know that the "perfect moment" is never there. I decided to quit smoking during a less stressful week, got my patches, smoked my lungs off the night before... and I did it. Was it easy? NO. Was it do-able. Definitely. Would I go again through the first month or so? NEVER.
But it clicked. Somehow. Because I hate failing. Because I consider myself strong. Because I did not want to fail the great people that supported me here. Because I am proud of myself for making this stick... It just happened that I am today 6 months smoke free.
I am waiting for the day when smoking won't even cross my mind. I am not there yet. But I am still going strong. And I am still amazed by the countless triggers that I encounter every now and then. But when I am able to out run my 10 year older, or stay and play outside without the smoking break. Or go to the mall with my daughter without rushing her cause mommy has to have her cigarette... That is why I know it is worth it.
Keep the quit
Cristina
