6 Months Smoke-Free
May. 11th, 2007 06:02 pm(Well, it's actually tomorrow - but I won't have much time to post anything tomorrow)
Big milestone for me. I've been an on an off smoker for over 25 years. More on than off - but when I was smoking I was always in the process of quitting. Usually quits would last 2 months but once I quit for 6 months - never a longer stretch. Tomorrow it will be 6 months that I've stayed smoke-free. I don't feel a relapse coming (knocking on wood).
I think about smoking regularly, but more like "ah, I wish I could still smoke" not "damn, I need a cigarette!". I have to stay smoke-free for my health and budget, so I cope. I recognize myself as an addict, and this keeps me away from the smokes :-)
I celebrate every month smoke-free. I'm really grateful to still be not smoking.
