What the heck? I don't want to get lazy about this life changing plan. So why did I almost forget my blog? No worries, watching a good movie "Freedomland" (Samuel L. Jackson & Julianne Moore).
A few people have asked what made me do such a 360* in life. Of course there are plenty of reasons to go around and to numerous to list them all. Number one was selfishness, me first, and I will fix anything, anytime, but first I'll do what I want. Second was my wanting my grandchildren and family to see a real person to remember. And plus I was getting tired of seeing that billboard along the highways stating, (Never stop trying to quit). Now that was in reference to cigarettes, but I also seen it as my alcohol burden.
I remember teaching my kids about not letting work overwhelm them, by stop looking ahead to see how much they still had to do, but, look behind them to see what they had all ready accomplished.
This blog is not flowing well, but neither are my thoughts tonight. Brain cells are reorganizing.

Goin4for4
Good Friday Morning to all. Well, the ones who are up anyways. I am feeling good; four days? If I were a betting man(I kinda am) I would have bet against this lasting more than two. Wow, this is really happening (I need to pinch me). Time for a quick pat on the back. Sorry, had a bragging moment.
What am I going to do today (other then entertain you all)?
Short story time: I quit smoking once before(ok more than once), but I cheated a lot. I would have half cigs hiding everywhere. Felt guilty as hell, and trying to find that moment to steal a drag wasn't easy either. And I knew people knew, they could smell it. Couldn't imagine going that route today. Where with that aging memory and all (I'm sure I put it here, or). That would be a joke. lol.
Have a fantastic day everyone, Make it your own (stole that from a night time show). Do I have to footnote that to avoid any plagiarism charges?? #scary
Later Alligator.....

EndingOfDay3
Today I put my big boy pants on and went through the garage a couple of times (it was still there of course) and much to my surprise. It wasn't a big deal.(that probably sounded like a scene out of horror movie). What I meant was, my smoking territory didn't rule me.
I have to apologize for not telling my followers the rules of my blog. To be honest, there's only one.
1) All positive, supportive comments may be left below, and All derogatory, demoralizing Trump like comments must be left on page 936. thank you.
In summary of today; clean is the word of the day.
As far as the alcohol thing; I am fortunate to not have drank much at home, so that is a blessing so far.
Going to have to wrap this up tonight because that blogger block is starting to set in(its something new to me). I'll find another group online for that also. Night to all, Gary

Day3MyFreeMarchOn
Just thought I would let you know that I am still kicking this morning, and I hope this finds you the same.
Last nights nap, I will call it, was anything but good. Now I am not sure if men get hot flashes, but I am pretty sure if you take away a couple drugs the human body is use to, and likes. It has a reaction that resembles that as a cold front meeting a warm front. They don't like each other, hence, a Nap.
There is a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. And I ask myself, what would that be?
The cravings aren't there as bad, but the triggers (garage,food,coffee,shirt pocket, etc. etc.) continue to loom around every corner.
I am impatiently waiting to total up the savings for the week, come next Monday. #moreincentive
Keep swinging the bat no matter how many strike balls you let go by.

Day2BookIt
K, slightly frustrated with me. Life is a continual learning experience, and that goes for beginner bloggers too. Yup, when it says that proceeding will delete, It's Deleted. My morning blog (number 4) today was pretty decent, but now its floating around in cyber space. Maybe the NSA will catch it for us. lol.
I had good success today. Great would be better but, it was not that easy. What did I eat? Just about everything except Buddy's treats (they're looking better). Maybe I should do a daily weigh in also, it couldn't be any more or less depressing.
OK, Gary, pick yourself up, there are millions of people doing and going through the same thing. All for the good of healthier bodies and life styles. Feeling- Stronger- Every- Day
See you all tomorrow, ya hear?

EndOfDayOne
Just returned from MKE after picking up my wife. 370 miles round trip without a cigarette. Very difficult feat, glad I filled the car up with fuel the day before, so I didn't have to stop at any convenience station. Staring at cigs behind the counter wasn't something I wanted to do today. Other than that, glad its late so I can go to bed and put this day in the history book. Tomorrow is going to be a fantastic day. Right? I said Right? Going to ask my Lord in heaven if He can spare about 10 of His best angels. Going to need some shielding on day two. Feeling; determined for MyFreeMarchOn.
Day one of MyFreeMarchOn
It's going to be a, l o n g day. Woke up at 3:30am wondering what I was going to do while drinking my coffee in the garage smoking my morning cigarette. Hold on there trigger, (not the one with Mr Lone Ranger). First of all you don't have to go out to the garage to drink coffee. Now go back to sleep, so this day can be as short as possible. And so were up to 6:15 am. Moving right along with caffeine. You know, being a first time blogger isn't easy. Especially if you are a perfectionist about punctuation and spelling. Stop it Gary, this blog isn't about spelling. Focus on the day.
