I feel pretty great today. I’m actually trying to stay off BYC for a few days because it’s sort of a smoking trigger for me. @Kiki you’re doing incredibly and serving as an inspiration for me. I got super scared (I don’t know what the right word is really for what I was feeling) yesterday about becoming a non smoker. (Change makes me super uncomfortable...) so in sabotaged myself and had a half of a cigarette before I went to bed.

WHAT? I made it all that time, 30+ hours, and then I did that? When I could have just gone to bed. Ugh. I am 100% capable of beating down the cravings within me. It’s this mental game that’s rough.

what I’m NOT doing is letting myself self-sabotage. Just because I did that, doesn’t mean ANYTHING about today or my future. I’m thinking this is me embracing “cannot” vs “can not”. Cannot is overwhelming, and like a funeral I don’t want to go to. Can not is a new beginning.

Best of luck @jolenesdad it does get better!! Time helps and makes it easier as time goes by,, your only enemy is waiting for it to get here.
Stay with it!

The mind game is the absolute worst.
I need one of these youngins here on BYC to quit playing online do much and go to school to invent a magical mind game pill.

[jolenesdad]

I’m sorry I kNow how much anticipation goes into it. I’ll be sending good vibes for something far better just around the corner.

 

[Kiki]

It's ok.
There is a better one waiting for you

 

[Tesumph]

It literally couldn't have been better than this.. ugh. I had it in my head that if I could just get this job, things would start looking up.
She said she wanted to keep my application on file because another position will probably open up in about two months. I don't know whether to wait or look for another one.
