I finally quit

Making the decision to quit has made me feel strong, like there's nothing I can't do now. It's been weighing on my mind for so long and I'm genuinely proud of myself for doing it. I'm filled with positivity. I really noticed the difference during my run this morning, my breathing felt at least 30% easier. I'm not sure if that's possible, or a trick of the mind, but either way it was incredible. I feel physically stronger and more energetic and mentally I feel unstoppable! I've just rearranged some moments in my day that were triggers: having a coffee and cigarettes was like a reward for going for my morning run, now I do some stretching and cuddle my dog while I'm having my coffee. In the afternoon I skip my post work coffee and do something else. Avoiding those two triggers has made it so much easier.
