Good Morning All,   

I am going on Day 134 of No Smoking.   Thank God is Saturday!    It was a busy week for me, the past week was my second week of working from home, there is lot to learn.   I think there is too much information for me to absorb, and I usually start work around 8:40 a.m. and finish work around 5:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.   

I am glad that I do not have to travel to work and avoid the subway train in NYC.   With the growing crimes in the NYC subway system, I am glad I do not have to physically go into work.  That saves me time, money and I have additional sleep.   I hope work will get easier as I learned the procedures and the way of doing things.    I know it will take me some time to learn this, however, I know I will learn the way of processing the work in about couple of months.    

I am also grateful that I no longer smoke cigaretts, since it will definitely take time away for me from work and it is detrimental to my health.   I am grateful that I have a job that pays my bills for me.   

I also am grateful for this website for helping me quit cigarette for good this time around.   Thank you everyone for your support!   

Have a wonderful weekend and God Bless everyone.

I have been smoking since I was in my twenties, and I have been sobered for 23 years. I quitted smoking for over a year until last October 2021, due to my boss has pile on a lot of work my way, I have developed major anxiety and panic attack. Ultimately, I had to quit my job to save my own life. I went to my primary care physician, and my blood pressure was very high. I had to make a choice to quit my job to save my own life. One of my colleagues told me that I was the backbone of the department, and he really appreciated my hard work. I was working as a Commercial Loan Administrator, and I have to extract certain information from the legal agreements and input in the Loan IQ system. The management does not care about the people working in the Operation Department. Majority of my colleagues told me that I am the most responsive and knowledgeable person in the department. I felt very angry that they put so much work on my plate and forced me to quit my job. I was no longer happy working in my job. That caused me to pick up smoking again, and I know it is not good for my health. Smoking only exacerbate my anxiety. I am praying and hoping that this website will help me quit smoking for good. I should not use smoking as a coping mechanism. I believe this is not a coincidence, and it happened for a reason which I do not have a clue right now, but I believe that God has a better plan for me going forward, and this is the time for me to do some soul searching and taking care of my body. I believe as time goes by; I will find a more suitable job that is not that stressful, and I do not have to work crazy hours. I will keep my fingers crossed.
