Had a couple of minor ones, mostly due to stress @ work, but nothing too serious. Keeping my guard up as usual.
Just feeling kinda down today, a lady I hired into the team, whom I've had the pleasure and honour to work with for the last 4 years, finally decided to move on. Bitter sweet kinda feeling, certainly not a trigger..
Tomorrow, my 16 days vacation starts, Amsterdam, Bruges, London, Paris, hopefully fun, need a break and a breather from all the stress @ work, take stock of this year, 3/4 now, recharge for the last push to close out 2014.
Certainly, one of the biggest challenge this year, is quitting the smokes. It is a bl***dy emotional roller coaster ride, and the ride ain't over. Having come this far (or not very far to be honest), it's actually manageable on most days. I always think about my OH, cycling, delay, or turn on my phone to flick thro some photos when I get the craves, thus far, it has worked.
During these 87 days, someone @ work, whom have started with me, have kinda fallen off the wagon; occasionally smoking only when there's drinks.... it's tough. Another gentleman, seemed to have been inspired, and have decided to give it a go as well.
Chin up, all those who are on this journey, nicotine is simply too addictive to be good. In my book, it is beyond the shadow of a doubt, evil. I hope I can beat it.
Have a great one!
