Venting part 1. Felt tired. Felt anxious, yelled, almost cried.

I have to be grateful today, because I went for a walk to the park with my husband and my dogs. We had a great time even though I was obviously not feeling up to par. He took my hand in his because he noticed I was quiet. I wasn't angry or upset, I wasn't feeling good and when I'm not, I'm quiet. My husband tried to cheer me up and I did smile. Those are the times when I feel this distance between how others manage life without smoking and how I don't. Oh, I know that there will be a day that I can get on with my life without thinking about a cigarette, but I'm not there yet and that's okay. People make bad choices even when they don't smoke, or never smoked. I made a choice not to smoke today. That was a good choice. I can say that I'm grateful for that.

It's nice to come on here and vent to people that understand isn't it? Those first days really sucked and somehow reading others stories and writing about mine helped. So keep up the hard work and rant on here as often as you need, we are reading:)

Hi Emily what your feeling is normal for being into day 3 of your quit. Scream, shout yell all you want and what a greaat decision not to smoke today. You have to relearn life without a cigarette in hand. It may feel like a struggle right now but believe me it is so worth all the work to get to freedom. I think its great you went on a walk with hubby and dog. In the beginning of my quit I cherished things like holding my hubby hand, doing thinks with out worrying where and when I can get a fix and not being stinky. Feel free to vent all you need to. We totally understand. YOu CAN do this one day at a time.

emilyt123078 Beautiful blog, Emily and how lovely that your husband took your hand to let you know that he is supporting you. There WILL come a time when you will not think of smoking all the time, this is a journey and it takes time. You are at the beginning of what is going to be a wonderful learning experience. You will get to know the you that you were supposed to be if you never smoked...remember that it is okay to yell, to cry, to be angry, to be sad...feelings are okay, they are normal, smoking stuffs feelings down and we all had to learn to feel all over again.

Welcome to EX,

Ellen
