Reciprocity

Yes! Moving is stressful but as others have said, anticipating in advance that you will be experiencing a new and potentially stressful situation, you have things under control already just by thinking about it in advance. Most situations that we anticipate will be unpleasant are not really all that big a deal when they actually unfold. Anticipation is worse than reality usually. You've battled your way through 8 months of quitting this addiction so you have all the knowledge and tools to keep going - no matter what you might face. You'll be fine

Wow! Yet another milestone for you today Jo   It seems only yesterday we were celebrating your 7 month mark. Time is really flying by now and you are now two-thirds of the way up the hill which is that first full year in this quit journey.

Stop and rest for a moment and celebrate all you have done. Not only for yourself but all the other fine people here. You probably don't realize how many you have helped in so many ways with your contributions. I think a special treat is in order my friend

Everything's better in twos Zenith! Congrats on reaching the 2 month quit mark.

You're on your way to a smoke free life my friend

This is the wonderful and uplifting moment we all reach at some point when we just know, we've got the upper hand on this addiction. After that it's just guarding against complacency.

             NOPE!

Yes you need to enjoy your life and if quitting too many things you previously enjoyed is making your life miserable then by all means don't get rid of it all at once. I think what these people are saying though is that they are tackling these other habits/addictions that they feel are causing them some degree of harm one at a time and learning over time to live comfortably without them just as most of us have done when we quit smoking. Bite off only what you can chew so to speak without making yourself too miserable for too long.
