Tomorrow will be better, Stef & there will be more & more better & better days. If you read some of the earlier posts from our longtimers, you will see the proof.
Tonight, I went for a 90-minute walk including up & down 2 sets of 34 stairs, 3 times each. I don't do a leisurely stroll either, I go like I'm going somewhere. A month ago, a 1/2 hour no incline walk would have been all I could do. I'm looking forward to running again, & I would never even think about that if I was still smoking.
What I'm saying is, focus on the positive aspects of YOUR quit, don't be jealous of the smokers, pity them because they don't have whatever it is that you value out of your 30 days. They for sure don't have the head start on a long, healthy life that you've given yourself by quitting at your age. They're still getting sucked in be the lies the tobacco companies tell. Pity them.
Then look forward to all the wonderful things still in store for you as you progress.
You're doing awesome, this is a difficult part for many but it doesn't last long & you will feel so strong & confident when you come out of it. I'm really proud of you for posting & not caving.
