I Miss Cigarettes Every Single Day Of My Life
Congratulations Shawn on being smoke free for exactly one year today. I can't believe that we actually managed to quit smoking a year ago. In a lot of ways it's gone by fast, but at the same time it feels like forever.I remember that the first day was pretty easy, but by day three I was freaking out. It was kind of hard to break the habit of having a cigarette in the morning and one after eating and all that but we managed to do it. Of course starting out with the patch made it at least a bit more bearable, but after about a week of that I wanted to see if I could go without. Apparently it worked because I haven't touched a cigarette in a year. One year! I'm very impressed and pleased with the both of us.
Thank you Shawn for being my "patch" throughout all this. I know that if it weren't for you I wouldn't have been able to do it. You were there to support me through the tough times and knowing that you were going through the same thing as me made it easier to handle. Not to mention there was no way in hell I was going to let you "win" by caving and having a cigarette. Being stubborn and competitive has it's advantages sometimes!
Here's hoping we can continue being smoke free but even if we can't I know that we can do it again. However, truth be told, the smell of cigarette smoke just doesn't appeal to me anymore. I like how much better I can breathe, taste and smell these days. I like how I don't have to always be stopping for a cigarette. I like how I don't have to spend upwards of $5.00 per day on a pack of cigarettes. I'm happy with my decision and that's what it was, MY decision. People always felt the need to tell me I should quit, but of course I wasn't going to listen. I knew that when the time was right I'd quit, and I think I found it.
Congrats again Shawn. I'm proud of you!
Now, on to year two!
