A new month

[ReallyReal]

Hi, what a great way for me to start a new month, as an ex-smoker!  I feel good about that.

Been reading a lot on this site today, including tips on having a support system.  I realized I had been focusing on all of the people in my life whom I don't think of as supportive; but when I made a list of the names of people who will be supportive of my quit (once I tell them about it!), I was so happy.  Because of my work, I have contact with many people in recovery from addictions--I am sure these people will be good to talk to when I'm ready to talk.  I am not alone in this, there are people who care.  And this site is helping me immensely.

I walked around my wild yard today, enjoying both flowers I have planted as well as the wildflowers I refuse to cut down--they are lovely.  Feeling sad, but content and proud/amazed at myself for saying NOPE another day.  Peace.  --Raissa
