I can hardly believe I've become an "Elder" on the Q. An Elder is one who has remained smoke-free for 100 days. When I started this Quit (sounds funny....) I didn't think that far ahead. 100 days? That would take an eternity to reach - I couldn't believe I'd every make it to 100 smoke free days.
But I did. I feel so much better now. I smell so much better now! I went to visit our oldest, and was greeted with "You look so much younger!" That really threw me for a loop. I hadn't realized how smoking was messing my complexion up. But it was and now it isn't and I look to be in my mid thirties, if our eldest's landlady is to be believed. I'm relatively certain she's not a lesbian, and thus has no reason to flatter me. *grin*
I posted my 100 Day Ramble after I got back from my family vacation, which was fun. Then Tax Day hit and we're $18,000.00 in the hold suddenly and now I get to quit freelancing for a living and start looking for a full time job.
Well, it was great while it lasted.
The fantastic thing is, even though this was the toughest few hours to get through since my Day Three, I didn't smoke. I stayed smoke-free and I genuinely believe I shall remain smoke free the rest of my life.
It's good to have a success story somewhere in your life history. This is one of the best kinds of success stories to have. One that means a happier, healthier life.
