Welcome to my ferocious journal. I usually post a gentle warning on these personality pages, but you know, I think the name says it all, really.
I have been completely smokefree since May 6, 2008!!!! I was smokefree between May 9, 2006 and June 23, 2007 and then I experienced what I consider a relapse. There was a major heartbreak on June 23, 2007 and I failed to deal with the stress, anger, sadness and loneliness. I used cigarettes as a crutch. The lesson is that I must learn how to cope and deal with crisis, drama and trauma on the grand scales as well as I do on the minor scales.
Smoking does not aid my personal evolution. I struggle with addiction.
I've noticed if I post something, there's a great response from someone who genuinely is there for me and if I really truly read and think about the posts of the other quitters/ex-smokers/etc., it's ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. The people on here are totally candid and they are truly supportive. It's amazing...
I still want a smokefree outcome and I'm willing to give the process as much time and energy as it requires.
I'm a bit high-strung, but I mean well (just had to get that warning in there!).
