Relapse lessons

I learned a lot with my fall from grace the other day.  My quit has to be my number 1 priority.  There are triggers everywhere and I can't pretend I'm not triggered.  The more triggered I am the more I need to have support.  It is an excuse to chose not to come here.  There are situations that I have don't have strategies for handling and I need to remove myself from those situations.  Reading what others have been through and examining myself with full honesty - the good, the bad and the ugly and imperative.  I realize how fortunate I am to get back to my quit after only one day.  In the past it would have been over over.  What is happening this time is that my belief in being quit is on a deeper level.  I still don't understand what has changed in me, but something has.  Thank you all for sharing your journey and being there for support.

My avatar shows me eating honey my grandson’s bees make. I’m 75 year (someone told me I’m only 71 - someone can do the math born 11/08/1952) old with 60 year smoking habit. Grandmother to 14 amazing humans and soon to be a great grandmother. Six wonderful children who deserve to have a mom who doesn’t smoke and stays as healthy as possible for as long as possible. I’ve lived urban, suburban and rural places. Worked at many jobs from plastic injection molding and waiting tables to teaching and journal editing. Retired, divorced, long Covid. Looking for what the next universe has in store for me next.
