It does get better..................

[ahhshucks]

So, last week was my worst week since beginning this journey on September 1st, 2017.  I honestly wasn't sure I would make it through.  But, as many of the Elders said, it will pass.  It did.  I feel much calmer this week.  I am in a good place and feel good about my quit.  I protected it, even though I was doubtful that I could.  I made it THROUGH.

Thank you for all of your advice.  I read, read, read last week, articles from this site.  I will continue one step, one day at a time.  But I feel good.
