Quitting smoking is a journey and I have found a journey of self discovery, inner strength and inner peace as well.

Soon you will trust yourself on a profound level because you have stopped administering poison to yourself.

These changes, especially with newly quit emotions on the surface can easily trigger tears.

Sometimes our eyes need to be watered in order to grow.

Be kind to yourself, Vivianne.

You are changing your brain, your pleasure receptors that were once under nicotine's control are now, one by one, becoming YOURS.

Reward yourself to get your endorphins flowing appropriately.

Think of rewards as re-rehabilitating your brain because that is exactly what you are doing.

All this takes time so, have a little patience and protect your precious quit. Remember to Breathe !

Get that massage, you needn't make this quit any more uncomfortable than it may already be.

I think it is Boo who says, 'you don't get extra points for making this more difficult'.

I am so glad you are sharing your quit with us, with the world.  

Congratulations on day 24 and all the days ahead.  You quit smoking, baby !

Oh yes, that first month is brutal and now you're almost through it We're so proud of you and love having you with us sharing your journey, xoxo

PS, I hate dentists, hairdressers and shopping too lol
