Hiya folks. I really cannot express enough just how much it means to me to be able to come here not just to vent and throw my frustrations out, but also for the understanding, sympathy and support. It really means so much to me. Especially since being a recently quit smoker adds a whole extra layer of difficulty to this, and knowing that you folks alone are going to be the ones to really understand it.
Please know that I am mostly remaining positive, and I really do have every reason to believe this is not going to turn out as anything serious. Certainly as much or greater chance of that than it being something awful.
It's just... it's very much like carrying your kid sitting on your shoulders. It's a little uncomfortable, but not that big a deal. After 20 minutes though, it really starts to wear you out. After an hour, and you are feeling crushed under that weight. That's pretty much exactly how I feel right now.
Then throw in that I feel like I was told 'Hey, Thursday, the kid comes off your shoulders and all is well again!'. Then Thursday comes and they go 'Ha! Just kidding. You have to carry her another week.'.
Ugh. I'm mostly positive and dealing with it, but there are those times...
God this is just like Hell week again. Heh. "I'm mostly dealing with the craves, but dang when those triggers hit....".
Thanks again folks - you're all quitters and wonderful folks.
