The
Early Journey
In this
journey, and it surely has been that, I have recorded events along
the way that have become known as "The Talking Stick Posts".
I have shared bits of my life in these posts. In going back over them
after all of this time, I realized one could see the changes in me
that happened along the way by reading my posts.
This
first set of posts is from the first six weeks of my quit. In my opinion,
this is the hardest part of a quit. So many changes happen rapidly
and one might experience what is commonly called "brain fog"
where thinking clearly is nearly impossible. At six weeks, I realized
my first plateau. I had regained my ability to string two thoughts
together and was feeling more in control of my life. With that realization,
I experienced great joy.
