So easy to stay free -5.5 years later

Posted in Staying quit 14 Oct 2023

Ok, I almost feel like there isn't much to share. Personally I don't even consider myself a smoker anymore and don't even feel tempted by smokers. My whole mindset is that of a non-smoker -I don't think about it and it's simply not part of my life any more. I feel so free of the burden I was under especially when looking at people who could've stopped with me and chose not to. Looking at those close to me still addicted, I see a helpless crutch wasting so much time, money and health. I'm forever gratefull that I am Free now and wish the same for everyone else who tries. Remembering my first post -it took 3 weeks...that's really worth the effort. Stay strong

    Congratulations! I also found it easy to quit once I made up my mind and forged ahead willingly. There are so many benefits why wouldn't one want to quit once they BELIEVED that they could. What is so hard about doing something that you WANT to do?

    Quitting smoking is done easily with the right MINDSET. One realizing that you are giving up absolutely nothing and gaining everything, it does make it easier and doable.
    Like most things about the addiction, we have been brainwashed to think it is hard to do. People need to see that it can indeed be much easier to quit smoking than perceived
