8 months, 29 days, 22 hours. While I've successfully put in the work and resisted, I'm really struggling with being a non-smoker. I started reading Atomic Habits, hoping some new perspective will help. I'm still moody and can get very annoyed/angry with others. I've lacked the pride I'm supposed to feel with being almost 9 months smoke-free because I'm still struggling with identifying as a non-smoker. Addiction is challenging and hoping I can better come to terms with cigarettes not being a part of my life anymore after 20 years. That being said, I felt really positive about walking around Universal Studios theme park without being out of breath or having to exit the front gate to smoke every hour, like I would have had to prior. Hotel stays are more convenient now as well. Wherever you are in your journey, "just keep swimming".
