I just want to feel

[razztaylor]

NORMAL again.  No inner turmoil (at least about smoking), no mood swings, just nice and smooth - not a lot of black and white but alot of grey.  35 years of living with cigarettes has given me triggers out the ying yang.  And it doesn't matter that my mind knows I'm not smoking, it also knows now this is when I smoke a cigarette and now and now.  So I am always saying No to myself. On the good side, I think I'm in the depressions stage now (that's good?!) so maybe halfway thru?

It gets better, hang in there.  I've often wondered "what is normal?"  Lol.  Great that you look at the positive in times like these.

Know you can do it. 🙂

You're doing so well!  Love the positive attitude. How long has it been anyway?

I think you really wont feel "normal" again. For one, you will have a lot more time on your hands. You will have all the time you had used to go and smoke somewhere. You wil get through this..... give it time. It does get easier and better. Have normal weekend. Hang in there!

It takes some time......remember you are relearning a new way to do many things. For me, after 40 years of smoking, it improved each day - and it will with you too! Just stay positive!
