No...I Don't Miss Smoking: What to do?

What to do?

I'm angry, sad, optimistic, and confused. I feel like I have so many options yet no options. I lack focus. There are so many things up in the air right now, I am not sure where to put my energy. Where will it be of most use?

This all leads to my feeling over-whelmed. When I get over-whelmed, I shut down. It's one of the things smoking did for me. It gave me a fresh start. I would go outside, have a smoke and things would seem to come into perspective.

It's Monday morning, time for a fresh start, hoping this week brings a new perspective.

Anyone have any thoughts on gaining perspective on life when your feeling overwhelmed?

I Do Miss How It Made Me Feel!

It's a question I have been asked many times since I quit smoking five years ago. "Do you miss smoking?" No, I don't. What I do miss is how smoking made me feel. Ahhhhh, relaxed, calm, at peace. I still struggle to find that feeling everyday. I've been wanting to blog for awhile now but hadn't quite found my voice, my purpose. I love the title of Lance Armstrong's book "It's not about the bike". That is how I feel about smoking. "It's not about the cigarette". So, what is it about? That what I want to share in my blog. I want to try to dispel a lot of myths surrounding smoking.
