I didn't planned on writing today
I didnt planned writing this as I dont want to overshare. I need to work and show you my results once I got big news and I have an accountability partner for my daily wins but today I had a big win: Today something different happened. My first week at my new job has been difficult ("you are not made for this", "they may have made a mistake on the recruitment" ...). The choice was made: I'm smoking tonight after work. Then, leaving work, something familiar happened in my head while driving: "should I really smoke?" "Yes I do" "No, you said never again" "Yes but just one, then back to the sobriety journey" ... I've had this discussion with myself 1000 times before and the "Yes, Let's smoke" always won. This time was no different, it was winning the contest by far, as always. But on the last turn before kaos I turned right instead of left. First time ever. The "NO" got up and KO'ed the "Yes" with 0 pity. Why? I'm done with the problems that comes with smoking. It promises a calm high but makes you paranoid, promises you peace but brings you anxiety. I know what was behind that left turn, I've been there multiple times. I just listened to the rational thought and instinct instead of that imaginary feeling. It may seem a normal story to you but its not it's a huge win, EPIC win. I thought I was done but I realised I can relapse anytime... but at least not today. This post helps me to reinforce the thought and my instinct I had today that saved my day. It reinforce the sobriety decision. War just started for me. This Sunday marks 5 weeks with 0 smoking and not getting high at all. Wishing blessing to you all.
