Jacqui,
You are totally on the road to recovery but it is just a loooong road and it has a lot of turns and bumps and stop signs :) It takes some time which is frustrating but every hurdle you get over is a big accomplishment.
You know...looking at your meter, you would have smoked a whole pack of 20 between your last two posts. Be kind to yourself you are doing an amazing thing but it takes a while. Probably a full year before you face all the normal triggers in their season. Do you remember a year ago? How quickly did that go?
You can do it. If anything, get mad at the hold that nicotine had over you and celebrate that you are taking steps to break that hold. And maybe a bath. And maybe a glass of wine with the bath. And some candles?
You are doing it. There will be a day when you turn a corner and you are passed all of this, it's just up the road a bit further.
