I guess this post functions both to introduce myself as well as to celebrate being 2 weeks quit. Yesterday was my 2-week anny, and boy was it a doozy. I have had a pretty successful two weeks smober. I haven't really faced many cravings, although the fatigue, brain fog, and depression have been hitting me pretty hard. But last night I faced my first major test. I had to take my best friend, who is terminally ill, to the ER. Her illness is the trigger that caused me to throw away a very long quit, but I'm determined not to repeat that mistake. By the skin of my teeth, I made it through the night without running out for a pack of smokes. And today, as I expected, I'm so glad I didn't light up again! I know deep down that smoking won't lessen the pain of the loss I am facing. As someone told me last night--I would regret picking up smoking again, but I will NEVER regret quitting! I held onto that thought as I rode out the cravings last night.
So I figured it was time for me to speak up in here. I've been lurking a bit but haven't really stepped forward and said hello. Today felt like the right time to do so!
