Exhilerated yet terrified...perfectly normal, I assure you!! Creating excuses, ran out of them and ended up here...check!! It's going to be great. That fear/excitement will make you feel up and down for a while but it's nowhere near what you expect!! Without support, it just felt like a slog..with support, it feels like a journey that you are able to travel. Some of it is grit your teeth because you don't want to do this day, this hour again. But very quickly you pass this and get into just dealing with thoughts. Get some distractions ready, that's the easiest way to deal with the early times...read/post/distract. Don't forget to change up some habits too. Ie first morning tea/coffee, maybe drink it in a different room. Car journey, have a mint or something to suck on or some tunes to sing a long. That sort of idea. Love the sound of this quit for you, what an utter win!!
