Things I LOVE About Not Smoking

I just completed my 6th day of not smoking - yeah me! I thought I would share a few things that I LOVE about not smoking...

~~I love the way I smell - no icky ashtray smelling hair, body, clothes, fingers - I can actually smell my perfume now. So can other people!

~~I love the way I don't have to worry about smelling bad when I give someone a kiss.

~~I love being in control of me, and not having to plan my life around when and where I can smoke.

~~I love not having to sit outside in the cold freezing my buns off to have yet another cigarette.

~~I love that I will now live a longer and healthier life.

~~I love that I am setting a good example for my children.

~~I love that I no longer have to feel embarrassed that others know I smoke.

~~I love that I'm no longer wheezing at night when I sleep.

~~I love that the people I care about are proud of me.

~~I love that I have inspired others to quit.

~~I love being able to go out to eat and ask for a seat in the nonsmoking section.

~~I love that I'm already starting to breathe easier.

~~I love that I am my true self now, no longer hiding.

~~I love having the freedom from fear - fear of the addiction, and what it was doing to me. What a tremendous release to let go of that burden.

~~I love that I now have more time here to love, laugh, and enjoy my life with my family and friends.

I love ya'll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
