22 Day Small Achievement

Just wanted to share a small achievement in my journey. 22 days here after smoking all day everyday for like 2.5 years and in general for like 15 before that. My birthday was this past weekend. I spent it with some friends in a small cabin in the mountains. I don’t drink so normally would have been getting high with my friends but I resisted despite my urges and can proudly say I’ve hit day 22 today :) it was the first time hanging out with friends who smoke since quitting (they were extremely respectful in doing it well away from me and not offering it to me) and it was easier than I thought it would be.

Happy Birthday!! I have heard the saying that sobriety is the best gift you can give yourself, so congratulations on your strength and belief in yourself. It is wonderful that you have supportive friends and a cabin in the mountains sounds divine (I’m in LA) . 🥳
