hey I’ve been sober for exactly a month yesterday and let me just tell you it’s been a hard, long, and extremely exhausting journey, but it’s led me to this moment right now. I’ve been smoking for two years straight, i took breaks here and there but they never lasted. I was smoking everyday all day. I knew it wasn’t serving me, i always got paranoid and never even had a good time when smoking. I was just addicted and would do anything to escape reality. I realized that the only person coming to save me was myself. I needed to put the work in and even after two weeks of getting rid of the habit I didn’t even think about it. Now, as I reach my one month milestone, it’s completely out of my system, physically and mentally. I don’t need it and I don’t want it. Sure there have been really really hard days and weeks, but I am so happy with the decision I have made. I finally took control of my life. I can finally think for myself, do the things that I want and avoid the things that I don’t. So this is for anyone who is struggling to stay sober, it will get better, obviously there are still have tough days but that’s life, & what makes you stronger is that you don’t escape them. The good thing about hitting rock bottom is that you can only go up.
