Quit Smoking: Day Thirty – ‘Officially a Non-Smoker’

Wow, thirty days and counting.  I can’t believe I made it this far. I remember those times in my early adult years when I tried to quit numerous times but failed every single time. Whenever I hang out with old friends, they are surprised and can’t believe that I actually quit. They knew how bad of a smoker I was, to be honest sometimes I can’t believe that I’m a non-smoker now.
The thought smoking rarely crosses my mind, I can go through my day with out the thought of it and more importantly I feel really good about my health.
It’s amazing what the mind can do. It’s true what they say; it’s as simple as mind over matter. Although the patch helped ease the physical cravings, it was my mental strength that got me this far. I knew others who went on a patch but were never mentally prepared, and as a result they failed and got back into the habit.
I am preparing myself to continue down this path - The path of a Non-Smoker. I can’t even imagine being a smoker again. I’m sure I will always have cravings here or there, but I know that if ever I become a smoker again, I would truly be disappointed at myself. This was a goal of mine, and I am proud that I accomplished it.
