In an effort to keep me pumped about this whole not smoking thing, I'm going to post about my progress. Once again, this is really more for me but if anyone else may benefit from reading it, awesome.
In a mere 24 hours I am once again amazed at how quickly things are changing for me. Each time I have attempted to quit I have been astounded at how quickly my body can bounce back from the punishment I've been forcing on it. I woke up this morning feeling incredible. Sure, I was tired but it wasn't the usual pathetic, groggy, hour long waking process that I've become accustomed to. I woke up quickly and easily and soon was going about my day. The feeling was incredible. Also, a huge plus, my throat didn't hurt. That's the first time in several months that has happened. I didn't wake up immediately needing something to drink to soothe my burnt, scared, broken throat. THAT is a wonderful feeling. I can't wait for things to continue to improve as my body works out all the poisons I have put in to it.
Paulie! I am so proud of you man, I remember last New Year's Eve, how embarrassed you were to ask me to wait for you to have a cigarette before we drove home. I think this blog is a great idea, also it has a fantastically clever and nerdy name, props for that. I can't wait to here more about your continued success. And when I get back (March 7) I will take you to celebrate 4.5 months of being free.
