quitter and proud

A few months ago I found myself with a smoke and lighter in hand, with no desire to smoke.
After stating that I would quite time and time again, I finally did. Now four months later I can proudly say, im a quitter. We always tend to think of quitting as a bad thing, hich evidently is not true.
Being rid of that crappy taste in your mouth, the smell on your clothes, even days after..all gone, now when i put on a jacket or a top by lunch i can still smell the fabric softner.
don't get me wrong, it's tough, and i still crave but these litlle small pleasures i wouldn't want to trade depsite having picked up a few kilos.
Now whenever i go to a restuarant and the waiter asks "smoking or non?" i proudly smile and say non!!
Altough its not easy and i still have a long way to go, im doing this for me..
and this without any patches, gum or even hypnosis.
In the end I have learnt that im stronger than I thought and when you really want something, you can make it happen.
The best advice that I can give is to stop procastinating. why next week, when you can stop now..
But four months later and im more than happy and will keep on proudly ticking off the days on my calender!
