Day 76 of No Smoking 

Good Day All, 

I was feeling very emotional yesterday since I've received a call from Andrea, my ex-coworker from my previous job, she said she will inform the Human Resources Department to offer me a job at the bank.    I felt very grateful, I quit my previous job since 10/19/21 and have to deal with my burnout from work.  At the same time, I have to oversee the renovation for my dad's house, so that we can collect rental income for the property.    Now it is almost completed, and I will be getting a job offer soon.   I just felt very blessed, and everything is falling in place.   

I am extremely grateful that I have quit smoking since it is not doing any good for my body and my anxiety.  The smoking is making my anxiety worse.     The good thing is that this job I do not have to work in the office, I could work from home, and go into the office 2 times a month.    I was very happy about this, especially I do not want to ride the subway due to the rise of subway crime of 75% this year so far.  

I also wanted to thank everyone in this website for your support and encouraging words to make it this far in my smoke free journey.   Thank you.

Congratulations on the new job - and it being one you can do from home!  I know that and the renovations almost being completed will further reduce your anxiety.

Congratulations on your 75 day quit!

About the Author
I have been smoking since I was in my twenties, and I have been sobered for 23 years. I quitted smoking for over a year until last October 2021, due to my boss has pile on a lot of work my way, I have developed major anxiety and panic attack. Ultimately, I had to quit my job to save my own life. I went to my primary care physician, and my blood pressure was very high. I had to make a choice to quit my job to save my own life. One of my colleagues told me that I was the backbone of the department, and he really appreciated my hard work. I was working as a Commercial Loan Administrator, and I have to extract certain information from the legal agreements and input in the Loan IQ system. The management does not care about the people working in the Operation Department. Majority of my colleagues told me that I am the most responsive and knowledgeable person in the department. I felt very angry that they put so much work on my plate and forced me to quit my job. I was no longer happy working in my job. That caused me to pick up smoking again, and I know it is not good for my health. Smoking only exacerbate my anxiety. I am praying and hoping that this website will help me quit smoking for good. I should not use smoking as a coping mechanism. I believe this is not a coincidence, and it happened for a reason which I do not have a clue right now, but I believe that God has a better plan for me going forward, and this is the time for me to do some soul searching and taking care of my body. I believe as time goes by; I will find a more suitable job that is not that stressful, and I do not have to work crazy hours. I will keep my fingers crossed.
