Yesterday was 2 weeks smoke free for me. I'm happy that I am not smoking, however, I haven't been so happy with the mental anguish I have been suffering, I knew it wasn't going to be easy. I'm also looking for work at this time and having so many hours alone and not working takes a mental toll as well. I really want to get back to working and feeling positive about my future. I'm feeling a little scared right now.
I made a committment to myself that I would not smoke no matter how uneasy and uncomfortable I felt. My life and my health are worth that committment. Thankfully, I don't have any health issues from smoking (that I'm aware of) for so many years. I am 47 and I started smoking when I was 11. It's disgusting to me that I grew up on cigarettes.
I am so thankful for this community and the support of it's members.
