Milestones
These
are my milestone posts. I celebrated each milestone with great joy.
It was like I had reached another step up along the pathway
to smoke freedom. I did not set goals, per se, other than to quit
smoking and I reached that goal at 2 PM on May 25th, 1998. Smile.
ddSteve, my quit coach, had talked to me early in my quit about setting
goals. Once a goal is reached, there is a let down that usually follows
it. And that let down can be dangerous. The Quit Path is never ending,
he told me. I have chosen to be smoke free for the rest of my life
so hopefully, I am travelling a long path that will never be done.
But I do honor my milestones because they are the markers along the
path that tell me progress has been made.
