A long battle, but I?m finally there

16 years ago 0 +0 / -0 597

How wonderful, Jazz! I am so glad you have reached this place in your life. I look forward to that some day... I still automatically think of smoking at the first sign of stress. I'm truly happy for you!

Jazz, I'm so happy for you! Congratulations! Isn't it a great feeling knowing that the nicodemon is no longer part of your life? Its party time! Reward yourself big time! You've earned it!

Hi Jim - I hope it sticks around forever too. I find it interesting that people who I thought were already at that point, aren't. I thought something was wrong with me for not experiencing it yet. Best wishes Jim - it will happen.

Hey Jazz!!!

A big Whoop - D - Doo for you!!! I am so happy for you and I hope that this feeling lasts the rest of your lifetime!!! Although I KNOW that I will never smoke another cigarette in my life, I'm not quite to that point of feeling that complete freedom that I am looking for!!! I am a patient person, though, and will happily bide my time until that feeling comes!

I am awfully glad that you are back!!

Jim

Hi buggerdb. I guess it is a milestone in a sense. It's so hard to explain. Kaiser, it's great to see you as well. You're doing wonderful, and trust what the rest of the "elders" have told us, you will feel it. Hey Kelly - I know you struggled as well, and I'm so proud of you and happy that you've been able to achieve that feeling. Hi Ashley. My advice would be to stick close to this wonderful group of people, have faith in yourself that you can achieve it, and believe what others here tell you. I know firsthand that it's hard at times, but we really aren't lying - it does get better, and it's well worth the fight to get there.

For some of us it takes longer, like myself. But I know the feeling you are speaking of, I am happy you have felt it, it is such a feeling of release and happines...

Glad for you Jazz...

Jazz:

Its great to see you here again. I knew that you would whoop this demon. I have not achieved that feeling of nirvana that you speak of but I am sure that it will come. Mean while, CONGRATULATIONS to you. Now go out and get a fitting reward.

Congrats Jazz! I am sure this is an important milestone in your quit. Self discovery and improvement in health doesn't always have a day tag. Hopefully this hurdle is out of the way for you, and you can start enjoying the smoke-free life again. Glad to see that you are back!
