Congrats on the quitting smoking! I've done it (almost 25 years ago) and know how extremely difficult it is to do, but it is SO worth it. DON'T go back! You're past the hardest part, but the next few weeks will still be very difficult. The cravings will get shorter and shorter with time.

It sounds like you're doing well on the get a life. Good job.

Shortly after I quit smoking is when I started martial arts.

The book reading by W is a good sign, my W has been doing the same, journaling too. It gives me hope.


M: A really long time.
Crisis: 5 years.
She's still worth it.
