WooHoo Ocean, you're in your 4th month now, can you believe it? Holy cow, when I think of all of the hard work you have put in, and all the struggles you have faced, I feel so incredibly proud of you! I know how difficult it is when you are just starting out, but you persevered even when the going was really tough, and look at you now! Incredible. You are really kicking butt.
Even after 15 months I am still getting cravings the odd time. Most of them don't last long and aren't all that strong, thank goodness. But I have to stay diligent. When temptation strikes, I think of all of the positive ways my life has changed since I have become a non-smoker. I really focus on my chest, because it feels so much lighter. And I am no longer a social outcast. I don't stink, and I don't subject my friends to my filthy smoke. I no longer have smoke breath, so I am not afraid to speak to someone without putting a mint in my mouth first. And I now have the freedom to do what I want, when I want, without worrying about how I am going to get my next fix. The freedom is incredible.
Keep the quit, my friends. I am telling you, it is so worth it!
