Hi Lady,
There is no "supposed to" on this Quit journey stuff...
Don't be so hard on yourself.
Ya know, being a 15 year old, well, there's a good side to that if we're gonna look at 'good' and 'bad' - you just be a 15 yr. old today, be a kid, do something, or do nothing.
You are being so in your head, trying to understand everything. Is that really serving you? What 'bout just being in the moment rather than trying to understand everything right now. All of the figuring out and beating yourself up is exhausting.
Lady, watch your words as our words are so powerful, dear one. What would you say to any one of us who called ourselves a 'stupid kid' .......
Give yourself a big, loving hug from all of us. Hold tight, you've been here before...
Just Be, Lady, my friend, just Be.
Healer

Hi Sunshine,
So proud of you - you did beautifully, and you sounded so different when you posted after the party ~ your heart was open and you had a smile on your face :) It's amazing, isn't it, how the energy changes when we are in the presence of love...
Just wanted to share w/you that due to many losses (death)-I completely shut down for many years. I did what I had to do each day, but the truth is I was not present, I was numb -just too many losses, too much pain. Being shut down for so many years protected me, as all of the losses and pain was just too much for me to handle...until I was ready. And once I did have the courage to face the pain, the losses, I had powerful support from a life coach, I didn't do it alone.
I have read some posts here about death and dying (Elisabeth Kubler-Ross) - the stages... that did help me in my process... But I was so shut down. Hope this is making sense. Let me know if I can support you in any way, and we can exchange emails or communicate on the messenger.
Hang in there - you are exactly where you need to be.
AND ... CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR 3 MONTHS!!!!

Hi AlleyAnn -
Yes, the anger is part of the journey (it sure has been and is for me)... Lots of emotions come up - honour them, each one of them, and ride them like a big wave. Your journey will guide you as the ocean guides a wave. Just hang on tight.
Sleeping is good (alot of us sleep/slept ALOT) - my body, mind and spirit still call for more sleep some of the time. Just crawl under the covers and hold yourself tight, dear one.
I spent alot of time in bed my first couple of weeks. I would make my bed with soft, soft sheets so they felt SOOOO good - and I would grab Rhoda, my Rhodesian Ridgeback and hold onto her and slept, slept, slept. I cried to her, I talked to her, I cuddled with her and I thanked her...
Just Be, dear one. Be where you are.
Be gentle w/yourself, AlleyAnn - each tear is healing. As someone said to me about Quit crying - LET IT RAIN!!! You are healing, your body and spirit are healing. Allow and honour your process, each step of your Quit process.
Blessings-
Healer :)

Hi AlleyAnn -
My Quit is also cold turkey... and yes, there are definitely some challenging days and nights now and ahead of you. And they are doeable -one moment at a time.
I find that cleaning, I mean cleaning, really hyperfocus cleaning can really take me away. Painting a wall, take one of your passions and do a search online, plant some beautiful flowers, do some gardening - get those hands really dirty. Anything you can really get into deeply. Use your imagination - look around - what needs to be cleaned, windows? dishes? floors? cabinets? the bath tub? the grout around the tub? and so it goes...
There really is so much to do - look around and just get into whatever calls you in that moment.
Take it one moment at a time, dear one - that helps so much and it
makes each moment handleable.
And please also watch your words closely, AlleyAnn - our words are so very powerful. The first 3 days were
tough
challenging
really tough :)
hard to cope with
and so it goes... they did not "about kill you".
Hang on tight, protect your Quit with everything you have, be kind and gentle w/yourself, and know you aren't alone.
Special blessings-
Healer :)
