Almost 7 months

I was a smoker of 15 years. Barely took a break and was constantly high. Decided I needed to move forward and stop partaking in something that was not just a crutch but also holding me back. If anyone has seen my posts I was a massive hypochondriac. I was constantly scared something was wrong with me and I was dying. I am far from out of the woods but want people to know I have improved a lot. I think my main improvement is the realization that I am not broken forever. If I do have to struggle with this forever it is manageable now. I still have physical symptoms but realize I was constantly making them worse by feeding my anxiety. I have overcome so much these past 7 months and am now starting to function at about 70%. I know time will heal my fully but I want everyone to know that a long time smokers like myself can overcome paws then so can you. The most valuable lesson I have learned in this entire predicament is that we must not feed our toxic emotions. We must overcome them no matter how hard it seems and move forward. I know this is not the end but it is the begining of the rest of my life. Thank you everyone that has posted before and helped me move forward.
