Day 35
.... it is a Thursday it was 5 Thursday's ago that I threw out my can and took back control of my life and WOW what a learning process it has been.
the last few days I have been fighting some anxiety which normally I would medicated with the chemical called Nicotine otherwise know as the BITCH. It got me to thinking I have been dipping since I was a teenager so I really have never gotten to know the adult me........ think about that one for a minute? I am having to meet myself for the first time ever. I don't know how the adult me deals with anxiety or frustrations disappointment excitement literally I get to meet a whole new me.
Yesterday I felt lost I could not concentrate or focus on anything it was like
.....gotta change the oil on this forklift crap where is that wrench I need to organize my tools oohhh this needs greased gotta get zip ties for the oil change there are too many papers on my desk that's right I took that wrench home need to sweep tonight .......
I was like a dog chasing a squirrel nothing made sense and all I could do is look at my list getting longer and longer finally I threw my hands in the air and ran to the safety of KTC hopped on chat got anchored back to earth got some good coping techniques and restarted my day today I am having to focus on one specific task at a time and not let other people bother me (like my micromanaging boss)
All I can say is this while some people my see 35 days as a life time....in quit time I am a baby . I have so many things to learn and discover and explore! Today's lesson - One Step, One Task, One conversation, at a time. I don't have to multitask focus on what is at hand crush it and move on to the next its the easiest way to get things done!
Tune in latter for more ramblings from DC
While you are here, you will find out a lot about yourself, others, and life in general.
Some things you will wish had never come to light, some you already knew but kept it in your subconscious for your own sanity reasons. Well, here they are, feelings you have to deal with, without using a veil of nicotine to mask it all. YouÂ’ll learn to deal with everything with a clean and clear mind. ItÂ’s really difficult, but youÂ’ll succeed, eventually, as long as you want it bad enough. You know there is NO excuse or reason good enough to go back to using. I wish for you to be successful. Stay quit, itÂ’s worth it.
You are rockin it.
