For maybe the first time since quitting I woke up feeling well rested and pretty darned good! Just normal good, like a normal person living a normal life — and it seems to be lasting.
I don't know if it's because I cut the final patches in half and am hardly putting them on at all (take that NRT industry) , or if it's because I found some really good new stress vitamins, or if it's just because my body and mind are getting used to not smoking. Maybe I've reached another level of being quit. There seems to be a lot of downs and now maybe im getting to some of the up stages. Whatever the reason, I am really relieved. I was starting to wonder if the price of not smoking was being horribly anxious every day . Maybe I can start enjoying some of the benefits of quitting now — like the money saved, running 12 k for the first time ever, the end of my sinus problems ..... I still feel wrong in my own skin but sooo much less wrong and I don't care about it much. I quit smoking! I really did.....
