Another Anniversary

Wednesday, December 23, 2009 @ 08:12 AM
Jan

As of today, I’ve been completely smoke-free for two years.

Yay, me.

I still get cravings from time to time, but those are decreasing in frequency and intensity as time goes on.  I’ve really and truly smoked my last cigarette.  Thank goodness.

We’re heading home from Kalamazoo, Michigan today and now I’m taking a few days off from blogging.  I know I’ve been MIA commenting the last few days (I’ve got over 120 posts in my reader), but promise to catch up with all of you and be a good blogging buddy this weekend.

In the meantime, have a safe and happy holiday, y’all.

  6. I’m truly proud of you. I’ve been cigarette free for almost 4 years now (stopped cold when I found out I was pregnant with Sprite) and actually hate the smell of it. But I think I miss the action itself sometimes. Oral fixation, anyone?

    Yay! I quit smoking when I found out I was pregnant with daughter, thought I’d take it up right after and didn’t. It’s been 20 years.

    I’m not able to keep up with blog reading either this season.

    Way to go Jan! I quit November 8th 2006. I had smoked 24 years and right before I quit I was smoking 2 packs. Was pretty tough for me to give up….and for awhile I felt like I lost a best friend. I know to non smokers that probably sounds pretty dumb. But I smoked during happy times, during stress, after eating, with my morning coffee…and no matter where I went I could find a group of smokers outside to smoke with…
    You are home free now…After two years I thought about them occasionally…now I never do…in fact I am now a true blue non smoker! Congratulations Jan! Have a safe trip!

    Congrats on the two years! I smoked from my teens well in to my 20s but have been smoke-free for a good eight years. Sometimes, when I have a stressful moment though, I still miss them.
