Well you may not like the feeling but you are doing EXACTLY what you're supposed to be doing to get through those tough emotional dizzy, frustrating, angerous times. I just made that last word up. Sounds good to me! lol Seriously. Just pausing, stepping out of the emotional moment and saying, "chill, breathe, relax" just that little bit of awareness and little bit of breathing can help SO MUCH. But, of course, we have to DO it when it happens.
You're doing great, Zak. You're listening to what works and you're putting it into practice. I'd say give yourself STRAIGHT A's. It's tough. Yes. Let me repeat that: It's tough, yes! But you're doing it. My goodness you've got two months smoke free behind you. Stop and really think about that accomplishment for moment or two. It's magnificent. Even though there are rough times now, can you go back to two months ago and remember how you felt back then? When you doubt or question your accomplishment, or in those times when you're going through tough times, just go back in your mind to your Day One, two and three. Or even the night before. Though we have hard moments along our smoke-free journeys, can you see how far you've come in comparison to Day One? I hope so.
My hat's off to you for you accomplishment this far. You just keep going, because oh... to give it all up now would be so sad. Stay the course. It's worth it. Really. It's worth it.
