How do I tell you how it feels to run up stairs out of sheer exuberance, not because you have to, not because you are exercising.
How do I tell you how it feels to have your child give you a big hug, whisper quietly in your ear, You smell so good Mommy/Daddy..
How do I tell you how it feels to sit at your child's graduation, wading through interminable speeches, so proud of their achievements. Yet after the ceremony them come to you, give you a big hug, and say I am so proud of you for quitting.
How do I tell you of the joy to be found as you fill your hands with deep dark loam, your senses filled with happy memories of childhood so strong, tears begin to fall softly.
How do I tell you of long lovers embrace, a soft whisper in ear, I am so very proud of you dear.
How do I tell you of your first orange, heady delight.
How do I tell you of your pride as you sit in the doctors office, they look up with a frown, say with a growl have you quit smoking yet? You answer YES!!
How can I tell you how it feels to spend a day with relatives or good friends, and actually spend the day with them.
How can I tell you of the sense of accomplishment, pride as you watch that special milestone arrive, think to yourself, If I can do this, I can do anything..
How can I tell you the release to be able to take a great big breathe of fresh air, and not stand coughing and gasping.
How do I tell you of the calm, the peace, and the absence of smoker's guilt.
How do I tell you how it feels to wake and realize you have not thought of smoking for a day, a week, a month.
How do I tell you the horrible physical symptoms will decrease, and fade, with time.
How do I tell you of these and so many more benefits in one small message? It gets better; the reward is worth the struggle. You may not experience any of these rewards, but you will find your own if you hang on to your quit.
