Hello World!!

Well, as the title of this says “here we go again”, I am attempting to quit smoking, again!

I quit smoking cigars back in September of 2015.  I did very well with it and never had an issue until my now ex-husband started his own agenda and new lifestyle.  I couldn’t take the pressure so I picked them back up.

Here it is August 24, 2018 and I have been smoke free for 1 month and 2 days!  It just worked out for me and I am so glad. The last time I quit smoking, my daughter was pregnant with my first grandson, Azariah.  Now she is pregnant again with my second grandson, Kingston.  I am glad to be smoke free since I really have wanted to quit ever since I picked them back up!  

On this attempt to quit, I happened to run out of cigars in the night.  My ashtray in the car was completely full of butts so I decided not to go buy any.  I knew if I got desperate I could always smoke a butt out of the ashtray.  In the meantime, every time I got in the car I would give a sigh of relief that “now I can smoke”… Ha, ha! then I would see the ashtray full of butts and remember that I’m not smoking right now.

The good thing is that I am thanking God daily for taking the cravings away and allowing me to have peace of mind and emotions during this time.  Also, my ashtray is still full and I haven’t had to smoke any butts nor take a drag at all!

Time sure does fly because it’s been over a month now.  I “forget” that I’m supposed to be struggling and trying to quit;  I’m just done with the cigars and so glad to be able to make healthier choices. 

I think maybe I’ll clean out my ashtray now 🙂
