So, I guess I am early in the No Man's Land stage of quitting. I've read a bit about it and that was helpful. Can't remember the approximate length it lasts, though I understand we each have different journeys, though lots of shared similarities too.
I have strong, joyful hours and kind of down hours--learning how to deal with uncomfortable situations and emotions without running for a cigarette is an interesting experience (not always that easy)
But at work today, before a meeting, I was talking to someone about my quit and lots of people apparently perked up their ears and heard the conversation I was having. It is a supportive environment, for the most part, but I was really overwhelmed with gratitude when almost everyone in the room started clapping for me and saying, Way ta go. Heartwarming experience. Encouragement and support are amazing, and that's why this site is awesome. We cheer each other on for each day Won. I appreciate being able to share my journey and I really appreciate reading about your journeys and your stories of strength and hope and the joys of being on this Freedom road.
