I'm coming straight to this site because I have had a difficult morning. I'm not exactly sure why, but part of it may be due to having severe neck pain. I was in a car accident this summer and my neck continues to hurt. I went for physical therapy since August, but no change. This morning I had to sit with a heating pad on my neck for over an hour. Although it helped a little I am still in pain. Also, last night was another blow out with my son. Interesting that my husband said to me "G-d must be challenging you. You're quitting smoking and all of this". I think they may also be feeding into my feelings of being anxious and unsettled. Well, thanks for listening to me vent. I did make the pledge and I am going to stick to it. Smoking will not make the neck pain disappear or the situation with my son be any better. I know that. On week 2 and praying.

Good job understanding that smoking would not have made ANY of this better, and coming here instead. You have learned your lessons well.
You might ask your physician (PT folks are not usually familiar with it) about doing yoga for your neck. I had a herniated disk in mine, and yoga aligned it properly and eliminated the pain. Something, maybe to look into?
Carry on with your smokefree day. You are doing GREAT!
