Welcome, Kya. I think that in being able to talk about the traumas that you've experienced, you have made progress in moving beyond them.
I relied on alcohol instead of smoking as my substance of choice. I consider my sobriety to be a great gift I was able to give myself. That in drinking I was disrespecting my body and my soul. Finally being able to quit (with a lot of support and medication) has helped me feel better about myself. In doing so I have greater acceptance of the bad things that happen in our lives.Do you think you could approach your smoking with a similar idea? That in quitting you are readying yourself for the challenges that life presents?
Sorry if I sound all preachy. I think early sobriety does that :-)
