1 year.
Today marks 1 years since I quit smoking. I smoked for 20+ years and never thought I would actually make it this far. But I have zero cravings or even much thought about it. And with all my struggles and failed quit attempts over many many years I'm so thankful that I was able to make it stick. I have my wife and pastor to thank for helping through the struggle. Having a solid support team helps a lot. But in the end it's really a mind set. When you realize how much it's actually stealing from you it makes it a little easier to let go. It's like a cage and the door is open, you just have to turn around and see that you can walk out. If I can quit, so can you! I tried and failed every year for 10 years probably. But I never saw it as something that was robbing me, but as something I would miss. If that's your mind set it will be hard, but when you realize how much more you're capable of. How much more present you can be it becomes easy to quit. When you realize it's actually the cause of a lot of your mental health issues it becomes paramount to quit. 1 year down, many more to go. Never felt better!
