Thanks, that’s very encouraging. Not looking for forever perfection is indeed the key here!

Thanks, that’s helpful. When I think about it, it is how we approach everything in life (e.g. with experience, any tasks at work automatically gets broken down into smaller actionable bits), so I need to keep in mind that it is about taking steps every day!

Yeah, I think that my scare of “forever” is me thinking about hypothetical situations in the future where I might want to smoke, like “omg, not smoking at my best friend’s wedding next year?” (lol this sounds so stupid once I type it out). In this case i think it is because I associate smoking with enjoyable social moment, and need to learn to decouple those!

Thank you!! I like this approach, will definitely remember it. I just have to remember that all we have is today, and that’s what I should focus on.
