It feels like I've been on this very long journey at times, but what's six months in the grand scheme of things? A school year just whizzes by, as do anniversaries, and birthdays. I started weaning off cigarettes in Novemebr, I think. I cut down from 25 to about 12 a day, then in January I started NRT to get off the remainder AND not relapse. So it's been three months completely off tobacco, and I think it just feels long, because it takes so much commitment in good and bad times. But I think I did it the right way for me this last time. I took it slow to build up my confidence, because that has been my number one problem all of these decades of smoking. I had three brief slips, multiple meltdowns, amazing daily recoveries. And I still have to work it out hourly. But I'm glad, and getting confidant, and so happy I'll never have to do it again! Yay me!
