9 days no cigarettes - yay!

i feel that being in this program (even for such a short time) has given me the tools i need to start making changes.  over the past 5 years, i have never felt the desire to quit, or even set goals for myself.  since al anon is helping me focus on me, i am starting to do these things...  so yay!

Goody for you!
That is great!
And amazing.
Have you gotten to the stage yet that you can smell it on your clothes?

I quit once for 9 months, took it up again and it took me 10 more years to quit for good. The last two years I was using step down filters and then the Final Filter. I would wake up nights afraid I had lost my filter. Finally got the flu and got too sick to smoke and that finally did it.
Then for about 15 years I would dream that I had had one cigarette and was hooked again.

It is God's grace on my life that I really don't like the way I feel after drinking, and am not that fond of the taste, either. If I had been the alcoholic in the family, I would probably have been dead decades ago.

That is abosolutely wonderful. It's two years I've quit smoking. I feel so much better. (and smell better too!) Good Luck! They say it takes 7 days to make a habit and 7 days to break a habit. 9 days is outstanding!

Sincerely,
Tonya
