4 Years
Happy to celebrate 4 years of no smoking today. I have not really thought about cigarettes all year. Even being around them does not bother me anymore and I don’t ever have cravings. 4 years ago today I would never imagine that feeling this way would even be possible.
There is still a long way to go to heal the damage that was caused from so many years of smoking, but today I am feeling happy to make it this far.
Here’s to the next 4 years.

The older I get, the more comfortable I become with complaining. Not merely moaning on social media, but writing a direct email to the perpetrator of some annoyance. I'd purchased an eBook and was appalled by how crappy the accessibility was. If you …
