The Promise is Real. Wow!

[cpk]

I don't know if month 5 is like going around a big bend towards magical month 6, but the promise that "it gets better" is not just empty words. I still have anxiety, but not as much. There are actually some days when I don't think about smoking at all. When I go through rough patches of anxiety or a crummy day I remind myself, "Everything isn't always about quitting smoking."

 

This is a really exciting journey. It has been hard, but SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO worth the effort.

 

This post is for newbies, in the early days and weeks of quitting. It can be hard. But it gets easier.

 

Sometimes it's hard to get through the hours.

 

Then suddenly a whole day, or days go by in utter freedom.

 

HANG ON. The promise is real. It DOES GET BETTER.

Not only does "it get better", but it goes away.

 

It. Goes. Away.

 

All you have to do is wait it out.

 

It. Goes. Away.

 

Gone.

What goes away? The counting of months? If so, yes, I'm in for the long haul, and to reach that place where smoking is just a dim and distant memory. I guess that's when conscious competence becomes unconscious competence.

What goes away?

All of the bullsh|t that needed to get better, right?

 

It up and disappears.

So glad you are back and posting and commenting all over the place, and always so positive, upbeat, and full of warmth and gusto for life as a nonsmoker! Brilliant!
