Do it! You are a hero. You are missing nothing, except that ball and chain around your neck.

If you smoked right now, you would feel better…… for about 45 minutes.

Open your windows and breath in that cold air. You are a non-smoker. You are not a slave of those who are in the business of selling you an addiction.

Withdrawal is not that bad. You slept about 8 hours a night before quitting , didn't you. Did horrible withdrawal wake you in the middle of the night? Did you have to get up every 45 minutes to stop the withdrawal?

Of course not. The wrenching withdrawal which has been pushed by those invested in keeping you addicted is a myth. It's not that bad.

Go curl up with your kittie. You are a non-smoker. You have lost nothing. Not a single thing.

See other people around you. They drink but they don't have to smoke. And they look like they are having a fine time. It's not alcohol that is the problem, it's nicotine.

Good for you for no nicotine substitutes. You don't need nicotine. You will be fine without it. It does nothing for you, absolutely nothing.

Except keep you out of withdrawal for another 45 minutes.

You are a non-smoker. Celebrate.
