Day #8 and feeling better and better with each passing day! I work two hours a day at an elementary school as a lunch and recess monitor & yesterday another lady I work with asked me if I wanted to start walking with her when we got off work. I said sure because it's just too nice to not do anything outside. About half-way through our walk I looked at her & said "wow! I'm not getting winded or out of breath!" "My lungs must really be clearing out faster than I thought!" Again, I felt HUGE pride in myself for quitting!
I then thought to myself "God really knew what he was doing when he made the human body." I had no idea that at Day 8 I would be able to walk distances without getting winded or out of breath!
My cravings have subsided quite a bit. Saturday was a really bad night because I found out that my one friend is moving 2,200 miles away to where our other friend lives. I felt like I was getting left behind & would be forgotten about & that set off the trigger of I want to smoke! I tweaked all night & part of Sunday, but I didn't smoke & that's the most important thing!
Believing in yourself & trusting & believing God will do things for you if you ask is having faith. I never had faith in myself or in God that I could quit smoking, but we both have amazed me! I've always had faith in God, I just need to learn to have faith in myself!
So I will continue to go on walks with Venita after work & instead of polluting my lungs & heart with carbon monoxide & nasty stuff I will put fresh air that God provides me with into my lungs & heart! My body is already thanking me for quitting!
