When I started out, 46 days ago, on my stop smoking journey I was tearful and scared about what was going to happen. My two previous quit attempts were short-lived - I managed 3 - 4 months each go, but spent the whole time in a state of anxiety. My life was totally up in the air, I was going through a divorce and just didn't feel capable of handling this as well, as much as I wanted to.
So I'm sharing this because I feel like this community is a good place to bookmark and make your intentions public; it motivates you to stick to them. I'm just very conscious that my life is still pretty unsettled (temporary job, temporary home) and I'm still sorting it out, so I need to exercise caution and keep myself accountable. The journey so far has been largely great and I have really taken a lot from the lovely folk on here - thank you for that! I hope I can give back some of the support I've received
Anyway, in a nutshell: I'm proper chuffed and the sun is shining! Haha. Happy Saturday all! x
