I forgot!

A couple of days ago, a coworker approached me and asked 'What are you going to buy yourself on the 18th?" For a brief moment, I was confused by her question. Why would I want to buy myself something on the 18th? It then struck me that she was (bless her heart) remembering that the 18th of April will be the 2-month anniversary of my 'quit date'. "You must continue to treat yourself" she continued.... I awkwardly responded that I was actually going to a concert this weekend - although in all honesty this was not intended to be a 'treat to self' - just a lucky draw - so to speak. I have since thought about that brief moment of conversation with my coworker. Perhaps the greatest 'treat to self' was the realization that at that moment in time I was not thinking about SMOKING!. How sweet it is to realize that these moments now exist! While the struggle continues (and I expect it will continue for the rest of my life), I am so pleased that for a few moments in time that I FORGOT that I want to smoke!
