I’ve been thinking of quitting ever since I started… and I finally decided to last week. I got a box of Commit lozenges for Christmas and I’m finally using them. What was important was that I wanted to quit!! I’m not quitting for someone else or just because I know I should. It was making me feel sick and I hated planning every day around when I could smoke. I’ve had a few urges, but I’m taking it one day at a time, one moment at a time, and the Commit lozenges definitely help!! I hope I don’t get addicted to them instead… but at least my lungs will be healthy…? haha

I was doing pretty well with this for a while… until 2 weeks ago after my boyfriend broke up with me, for no concrete reason. “It’s just not what I want.”
What a lesson of acceptance… I’m grateful (now) that it happened because it really made me look at myself and my spiritual condition. I need to keep God in charge. If I start to think I know what’s best for me or that I know what God’s plan is… I’m totally screwed. It’s a relief today that I can let go and let God do the planning for me, as difficult as it can be.

Trudging along
13 months ago
I have a little over 8 months sober now, after a slip in February. After that, I dove into the program with as much willingness and honesty as I could pray for. The steps are amazing! Although I sometimes wish I didn’t slack so much on them. However, I am proud of my progress, and I’ll be starting 9th step next week… It hasn’t been an easy road, but it’s definitely been worth it. It’s true what they say, my worst day sober is better than my best day drunk. Never thought I’d get to that mindset haha..
“Keep coming back, it works if you work, so work it, you’re worth it, and live!”
