the quicker you get back on the quit...the easier it will be for you By now I am sure you know that smoke did nothing for you...bet it was really disappointing and not at all like you were longing for, was it? Nope...that's the illusion that many people who relapse give in to. But it's a lie.... Now that you know this..re-commit to NOPE...and stick to it.

Ran on treadmill 6 miles

I think I'll try an 8k next. I also signed up for a tough mudders race

:) The ego is never satisfied.

Not one puff. Ever.

Well said. :)

when the student is ready....the teacher appears. We have no way of knowing when that time is so it's best to keep sharing your thoughts and experiences...not to shove down anyone's throat but, you never know when someone is ready to listen.

in talking to my friend this morning, I realized I needed this reminder today :) “The more we trust life, the less we need to know the future. What will happen in the future? Exactly what needs to happen. Do we have to know what that is ahead of time if life is unfolding as it needs to? No. We only want to know what’s going to happen because we don’t trust life and we’re afraid life won’t go the way we want it to go. “Will I get what I want?” That’s the question the ego most wants answered. The ego’s desires cause so much suffering. It can’t just relax and enjoy the ride. What if you weren’t attached to life turning out a certain way? What if you trusted that life is always bringing you exactly the experience you need? That would be called happiness and peace, wouldn’t it?” ― Gina Lake, Trusting Life: Overcoming the Fear and Beliefs That Block Peace and Happiness

At first when I read this I thought...uh oh...Rob's in trouble...but then I remembered when I quit, I felt just like that. I was in no more in danger of smoking than you are...and I didn't. You know why? Cause worrying about relapsing is what will keep you off the smokes. Don't be surprised if you start having dreams of smoking...that's normal too. Doesn't mean you will relapse..it means you want to stay quit so bad, going back to smoking would be devastating for you. You are doing great Rob...and remember...it's YOUR quit..not anyone else's. Protect it like a newborn baby...that's your only job in staying quit.

this is true....but even 3 months, 6 months, and 9 months there's "restlessness" and even now..2.5 years later..I'm restless. I know I have no chemicals leaving my body now.....I wouldn't blame my restlessness now on withdrawal...

My best friend and I...that's what I meant to say. My grammar is bad today

you are doing awesome!!!! Stronger every day! Congrats...you are a non smoker What you are feeling is completely normal and will subside soon
