Brain fog with a mix of BAD gas 🤣

So, day 7 of my journey was a filled with bouts of forgetfulness and a cacophony of (bad) gas. I forgot to turn on the coffee pot and became frustrated 10 mins into it when I went to pour a cup. Then I forgot to set the microwave to warm my oatmeal. Later in the day, I forgot the detergent when I ran downstairs to do the laundry. 

But it was the wretched gas that sent my  fellow gym goers running for the hills. I didn't mean it to happen, you know? I mean when you're on the stairmaster and doing your thing, it can kinda slip out.

Even my dog ran away wincing when he got a whiff of daddy's quitulence tonight. 

And that was my day 7. Brain fog with a bloaty mix of gas 🤣

I began my relationship with cigs around the age of 16. Now at 52, I've decided that relationship has been caustic, unhealthy and life robbing. In 2010, I had actually stopped smoking for an entire year. And then one day I made the mistake of thinking I can have "just one". Well, we all know what happens next. I am choosing the approach of one day at a time. For me, this means not focusing on tomorrow and not looking back. Instead, it's all about today - because today is a gift. Each morning, I will be writing something to be happy about in my gratitude journal. My coping strategies include coming here for support, engaging in daily exercise, changing familiar patterns, and engaging in heavy self-care. I can only focus on today with this addiction and I've come to accept that. I'm sending positive energy your way.
