🔥 The people who try hardest on day one of quitting are the ones most at risk
Day one isn't the day you rebuild your life. It's the day you get through one cigarette while still weak.
On the morning of your first smoke-free day, there's a slightly strange sense of invincibility.
The you of yesterday suddenly looks outdated. Just not smoking doesn't feel like enough. The air in your room, what you eat, when you sleep, how you treat people — you want to swap all of it out at once.
Today's a great day to become a new person.
The you thinking that in the morning does feel good.
The thing is, that morning self doesn't know much about the evening self.
The morning self doesn't know the evening self
By evening, something stirs deep in your body. Work is over, but it doesn't feel over. You eat dinner, but the usual sense of closure doesn't come. Your hands won't settle. Something's missing, and you don't even want to name what it is.
