September 5, 20188 yr Thanks for the congrats! I remembered my 8 month anniversary, but it was the first day of school and I haven't had a chance to check in until now (stealing moments from sitting in traffic). Last week was a tough one. I was triggered by loneliness when my kids returned to school, fatigue from the new routine, and also memories of last fall, the freedom to smoke whenever I wanted because the kids were away (I hid my habit from them). But I didn't smoke, because I'm never going to quit again. And also because when I quit, I gained a few pounds that I haven't lost yet, and I refuse to be both fatter than I like AND a smoker. Strange where motivation comes from. This week, I have a million things going on. Dates with friends to combat the loneliness, lots of projects around the house, and lots of confidence that my quit is solid.
September 5, 20188 yr You are doing great, Farmgirl ! It is good to hear from you. Congratulations on your 8 months of Freedom.
