25 days

Tha’s how many days it’s been since I smoked a cigarette.

WOW!

I never thought I’d make it this far. I’m even feeling like a non-smoker. And I’m thinking of the good things about not smoking.

  • The part of my desk at home where my ashtray used to sit is clean, no ashes anywhere.
  • There are no ashes on my nightstand.
  • I can sit anywhere at all in any restaraunt.
  • I don’t have to stand outside in the cold to smoke.
  • If I travel on an airplane, it won’t matter if the airport allows smoking or not. (Good reason to go back to Hawaii)
  • I don’t have to choose between a smoke or going to the bathroom during breaks (in meetings and stuff).
  • I smell like whatever fragrance I’m wearing, not like tobacco.
  • My hair smells like Monoi de Tahiti (YUM)
  • My lipstick stays on sooooo much better.
  • I don’t waste time running around the house looking for where I left a lit cigarette.
  • In fact, I do everything quicker now because I’m not smoking at the same time.

Okay, that’s enough for now. I know there are other good things. I was going to mention my breathing but oddly enough, my breathing has been fine. No hacking or wheezing or anything.

So, I think I’m a non-smoker now. :)

  • Oh, yeah. I want a body massage but with the new grandbaby due any day, it’s kind of hard to squeeze it in. But I did just buy a bunch of my favorite makeup. Ordered Sunday, shipped out Monday and got it yesterday. Today, my eyes are all glimmery!
