I can't believe I have not smoked for over 10 days. I will admit it has been a slow and sometimes challenging 10 days but all in all it has been life changing. I feel I get stronger each day and I always look to the future and think how great it is going to be for the rest of my life. I will never have to fear about contracting a disease though smoking, I will be able to play with my nieces and nephew without being out of breath. I can restart playing my childhood game of tennis again and not quit after an hour. I can smell the beautiful fragrances of nature again and it reminds me of the times before I became a smoker which in turn gives me a sense of rebirth or a second chance if you will. I also feel my confidence getting stronger and I am overwhelmed by a feeling that I can achieve anything, which I must admit is awesome. I do however also feel disgusted with my self sometimes when I think that I was choking myself and destroying my health purposely for 23 years. But there is nothing I can do about that now except enjoy the rest of my life knowing for sure that I will never go back to that situation again, no matter what.
Okay I am off to the cinema now to spend some of the money I have saved by not smoking and I think I will treat myself to a nice Indian meal afterwards.. Yum. Then off for my second 5km run tomorrow to try and beat my 30 minutes from last Sunday.
Hope everyone has a wonderful smoke free and happy weekend. Until the next time My Amigos, take care :-)
