3 Years

It has been an amazing three years for me.

I've learned a lot about myself.  I don't think anyone can learn to admit
an 
addiction and NOT learn a lot about themselves.  It's a sometimes rude 
awakening, but it is so wonderful to really be awake!

The summary of everything that I've learned:

I can do hard things.

That simple sentence blows me away.

I wouldn't know that if I had not worked so hard at quitting smoking.  The

effort it took has given me the belief that I can accomplish what I set
out 
to do.  What a tool I've given myself!  There are no words that can
express 
my humility with this.

To those of you in the beginnings of your quit:  Believe in yourself. 
Believe in the power inside you to do hard things.  It's there.  Grab it. 
Use it.  Embrace the wonder of you.  You will succeed.  You will quit. 
You 
will.
