Hi guys! At just over 4 months of "smoking sobriety" I don't crave nearly as much HOWEVER, I woke up this morning at 5:45, got out of bed and thought...there's nothing to look forward to. Some days are better than others and I'm happy to say that I'm getting there. Every quit is different, I know, but mine always seem to include a sense of being easily overwhelmed, thus for me leading to a lack of motivation. I just want these feelings to go away!!!! I think perhaps I might be shying away from doing certain things because there is still that "link" to smoking. Today is a down day and I'm trying valiantly to lift my mood. I have this mindset that at 4 months smoke free - life should be normal again!!!! Ok, I counter, who says so???? I need to be patient, and sometimes I struggle with that. One day at a time. One day at a time.

Kelly, Jim, Moss, and Jazz...THANK YOU. You all gave me some great advice to ponder, and I've been doing just that. I know that patience is a virtue right now, and changing up my routine with a reward(haven't had one in a while) is great idea. I do know things will get better, its just when you're living in the moment. I'm trying out a few new recipes this afternoon, in between laundry. Already been to work, so I'm going to change things up a bit. But mostly, I'm going to accept myself and my feelings right now. I thank the Lord for all of you!!!!

The warmer weather is just making its way into Brampton, Ontario, (NW of Toronto). And while I can't lay claim that its just too hot to smoke here, its still a great time to quit because cigarettes cannot be in open view anywhere in the stores up here. Mostly convenience stores because cigarettes are NOT sold in drug stores nor in some grocery stores. Smokers have to travel a little farther and a little wider to get them, and when they do, the deadly smokes have to be pulled from "the secret dark place" that nobody knows much about! EERIE!!!! Plus I don't want to feel like an outcast! N.O.P.E. for me, even though today was a bit rough! Again it goes to prove that reading and posting CAN BOOST ANY QUIT.
Cheers,
Jan
