Oh, gawd ... I've numbered things #8 TWICE & haven't got a #9. Now, look, that's even amused *me* !! I didn't even think to put that I can't count either, but I've PROVED it !!!
Kathleen ... I think however we choose to term it, there are powers of Light and powers of darkness. One leads us more towards being our true selves, the other drags us down.
I do hope I do love it when the real me emerges. I described it to someone recently as being like labour pains ... all the withdrawal agony (and it is at times) is all about the struggle to bring the new "me" into the world. In a way it helps, because it gives a point to all the discomfort.
Thanks for responding :)

Personally, I call that little voice the voice of Satan in my life. It
still happens, just not about smoking anymore. Things are going great and
then there is this LIAR in my head, trying to feed me lies. It has been a
powerful exercise for me - and a huge part of my quit - to speak the TRUTH
out loud. It takes away the power of the lie and gives power to the truth.
Also, #8 the personality thing you wrote - I TOTALLY went through that. My
DH told me at 3M that I was an angry person and not happy. I was so hurt.
and shocked. And wondered what all this (12 step) analysis and quitting
stuff was for. I came here crying about it. And was encouraged to keep on
keeping on. A month later I asked DH if he still thought that and he had
totally reversed his opinion!
You are going through some big changes and your body, your mind, need some
time to get used to it. Allow yourself to react for a while until you learn
new ways to communicate, and stabilize. You are going to LOVE it when the
REAL you emerges!!!!!
With hope and heart,
Kathleen
PS. I know that first line makes me look like a crazy Christian.
That's OK. I am one. I believe there is an evil force in this world that
exists to steal kill and destroy anything good. But I believe that the
good, the love, the joy - are greater.
