Step 1 to becoming my future me has not been easy. You see it is hard to choose your first step and it is even harder to actaully take the steps and do it. I decided that my first step was going to need to be quiting smoking, and it scared the heck out of me. I smoked for 17 years and I really believed that it was a part of who I was (notice the word was) becuase it is something that I did everyday on a very continious basis and when I wasn't smoking I was thinking about the next one. The more time I spent thinking about my future me the more times I realized that all the smoking I was doing was not helping me reach my future me. If anything it was holding me back, I was having a hard time breathing, I smelled, I was not present becuase I was always thinking about smoking, I was missing out on me becuase any extra time and taken time were used for smoking instead of things that were acutally going to help me.
I quit smoking 12 days ago, each day has been difficult but also exilerating. As I sit here now I realize that I am doing the right thing becuase I feel so much more alive than I did 12 days ago. My body feels better and my mind feels great becasue I am accomplishing something that I never really thought I could. So sad not to have given myself the credit I deserve, I am capable of anything I put my mind to that much I have just recently learnt and I am not about to stop now.
