One month down, a whole bunch more to go!

I'm officially at one month & three-days smoke-free! This has been the longest month of my life! I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss it because I do. It's getting easier day by day though!

We made it through my aunt's husband's funeral at the end of April. I kept thinking to myself the whole time "wow, cigarettes put this man in this casket!" I shuttered to think what his lungs, heart & brain looked like. The thought scared me. When my dad & I got to Mattoon I went with my cousin Morgan to take her daughter to the babysitter's house. Morgan lit up a cigarette in the car & I all I could think was how bad it smelled. I've noticed that the smoke gives me a headache. It did before if there was a lot of it, but it's almost immediately as soon as I smell it now.

I met with a lady who is like my second mother this past week & when we hugged she told me I smelled really good. This made me smile & I said "it sure beats smelling like a cigarette!" It's so nice not having to go out for a smoke & miss things just to satisfy a craving. Then just to come back & stink like tobacco & nicotine!

I love my new freedom!
