Good to know it’s part of the process.

Thanks Roisin, I am... yesterday on a whim my daughter and I went and saw MoMA in Melbourne, we had such a great afternoon together, then last night she thanked me, I could tell it was really from her heart.

She was thanking me for not smoking too cause we could never do something like this before because the money would not of been there to do it.

The icky bit for me is feeling strange in my new skin so to speak - but the only way to start feeling me in my new skin is to keep going til I do.

This forum has been great...

How is things now Nowandforever ?

[Nowandforever in reply to RoisinO1]

I’m doing well - still smoke and Nico free.

I’m very teary.... always have been a bit that way, but at the moment the simplest things trigger me, I’m doing different activities, moving life in the direction I’ve wanted to go for a long time. It still feels awkward/strange... jt is getting easier all the time though.

I’ve had to pull back from some people and situations to keep on track and that has been hard and sad too.

I know it’s going to get easier, I’m doing all the right things. Decided to go north on a road trip for a couple of weeks (countdown 4 weeks) so I’m focusing on that at the moment.

Going north at the moment means sunshine and a break from Melbourne winter.- I’m not a winter person at all so I know that trip will put some spring back in my step.

Thanks for asking Roisin. I look forward to feeling a bit more positive when I get through these icky 3,s...

I hope all is well with you, what a valuable thing you do helping us all. Thank you xx
