Yeah for me

I celebrated 3 years of quitting smoking. That is not very long, but it means a lot to me. I still think about it sometimes and have to tell myself no, you do not want to smoke. Wow my life has changed over the past three years. I have moved, changed jobs twice, gotten involved with many groups and have made a little more peace with my self. Oh yeah, I almost died a few times.

I remember my celebrations of 6 months, 1 year, 2 year and all of the little reminders along the way. The journey was a learning experience and I enjoy the life I now lead smoke free.


Been down that road many times before
Lessons learned, I am now restored
Closer to my spirit
Closer to my Self
Made peace with my chosen path
Living now to make it last
How many roads did I walk down before?
Frustration and confusion, there had to be more
I tried so many times
I cried and moved on
Never completely giving up
Till I could do it no more
When I finally let it go
I felt so much relief
Walking out to the end
Finding wind beneath my feet
I can not forget where I have been
I will not make that mistake again
I will have more to show
Than a life full of defeat
Friends have helped me see past my faults
They have reached out and lent a hand
I will not fail for them or me
I will not except a defeat
I will continue to be me
I will be
