No More Butts...The Beginning..
Congratulations to you K9! You've got the right attitude to make this quit stick! :goodjob:
Over 15 years ago, I quit for 2-3 years (didn't pay enough attention to my quit, which ended up being my downfall).... let my guard down, and made the regrettable decision to "just have one". As all of us know, there is no such thing as just "one"... they come in packs.
I started back smoking again, but this time I made my smoking addiction worse: I became a closet smoker. I was too ashamed to let those I loved know that I had failed, so I made it my little dirty secret, and hid my smoking for 8 long years. Finally, I came to the realization that I had to quit... not only because it felt like it was slowly killing me physically, but killing me emotionally as well. The day I quit is the day I regained back both my power & my freedom. I'm sure you have experienced this sense of liberation as well, am I right??
Although us closet smokers suffer the greatest while we actively smoke, we are also the ones that experience instant freedom the very moment we quit. The burden of shame that we have carried for so long has been lifted We are instantly rewarded with a new positive attitude towards our quit AND ourselves. I have witnessed this not only in myself, but in many others as well.
Keep up the great work... this is a precious gift that you are giving yourself!
