Sometimes I stop and listen to my breathing.
My beating heart is a wonderful feeling.
Hearing the wind blowing the leaves in the trees,
The waves cascading in the sea breeze,
Feeling the sand underneath my feet,
Seeing the land and the ocean meet,
Smelling a meadow of wonderful flowers.
I feel rich and alive in the sun’s power.
The simple joy of someone’s laughter,
In our beautiful world for us to look after.
My name is Lizzy. I’m a trauma survivor, a wife, a mom, a teacher and an author.

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.
