The struggles we all face some days in our daily lives makes the early quit that much more challenging but we also must realize that those struggles would be there regardless of our smoking status so, now that you have quit smoking, that's really probably the best part of your day yesterday. Adding a potentially deadly activity onto a crappy day just doesn't make sense. I know we think that a smoke would relieve our anxiety and our general crappy mood but you know that's not true. It just relieves our bodies quest for a nicotine fix and relieving that just starts the cycle all over again so Jess, you are way ahead of things now as a non-smoker :)
Hope you enjoy a little down time this weekend and recharge your batteries. Stay strong regardless of what challenges come your way. I know it's not easy so early on in your quit but it will get better as your mind adjusts to life as a non-smoker. You need to do this so that when you do retire, you will still be healthy enough to enjoy it. I'm in the same boat. Wanted to retire the past 2 or 3 years but always something comes up to derail that. Now that I'm no longer filling by body with toxins all day long, I'm hoping I will be still in good health whenever I do get to retire.
