U know what is happening to me from this thread?? I just had this strong/stable feeling come over me! There really is strength in numbers! Seeing you all make the same promise has only increased my own strenghth in this promise. I didn't know that a promise could get stronger but it has in me. Thanks to u all :)
And the waiting game for the # of replies is cracking me up, lol.
WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Together we can and will stay quit!

Hiya Lady :) Happy Wednesday 2u & your Dad! Hey girl let some of that fear go. Whatever's going to happen is going to happen regardless of how much you choose to let it effect u right now. So just for today it's ok to let some of that weight on your shoulders lift off. It will feel good and be good 4u, even if just for today :) You're a star!

Angelic,
Wow we have the same Mom! Sounds like she's playing the victim role and is being a little selfish. Trust me,,,I totally 100% underst and feel 4 what you're going through :(
Unfortunately the truth is that if you give up and give in now, you'll be just like her in the fact that you'll be playing the victim role. Go ahead and download her stupid sites,,,ONLY BECAUSE IT WILL GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO DO. Next, stand up to your Mom for yourself and tell her that tomorrow is for you and you won't be doing any downloading of anything for her tomorrow. Then tomorrow plan something nice for yourself as a reward for getting through today. When I was early on in my quit I rememer I went to Barnes & Noble cuz u can't smoke in there and it kept me busy and took my mind off things for a couple hrs and the best part was the starrbucks! Just an idea. I don't know where u live but if I still lived by the beach I would reward myself by going to the beach and getting myself a little serenity.
One thing good to know is you don't need your Mom or her approval to help you quit smoking. You have all of us! :) And 1st and foremost GOD will help you if u ask him :) Also I pray for my Mom and then try to let it go cuz I can be co-dependent to her very easily.
So....get to downloading LOL or if you really don't want to then don't and take yourself to Barnes and Noble or something! And while your there check out Alan Carrs book,,,The Easy Way To Stop Smoking". It's only $15 bucks :) Then get your butt back in here tonight and let us know how you made it through today without smoking :) You're a non-smoker now, so deal with it girl! LOL you can do it!

Ok, so after quickly replying I went and read all the other posts and see that you're ok now, lol. That anger can really get a hold of you if "you let it". You did the right thing to come in here for help when you needed it! GOOD 4U!!! Be proud of yourself and let this be a learning experience and prove to you that you can do it again and again for as long as you need to :)

I remember taking a trip home to Cali, early on in my quit. I had already made this promise to myself. So one day when I was at the beach and having a craving this promise helped me cuz I would have had to find a kinko's to post for help and well...that was just too much work, lol, it was easier to just not smoke, lol. Honestly this promise has come in handy several times, lol. Happy smoke-free Wednesday all :) WOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Hi there Ang :) You have a right to your feelings :) It use to be that when we'd get angry we could just smoke and not have to deal with the feelings. Smoking/any drug is used to escape from our feelings. Now that we're smoke-free we have to grow up emotionally. We have no choice, it just happens. Each time you get through a rough spot you'll get stronger and be more confident in knowing that you'll get through the next rough spot. The gr8 thing about feelings is that they are TEMPORARY. We are not defined by our feelings, rather they come and go through us. The more emotionally mature we get, the more we learn how to deal with our emotions and the less dramatic they will seem. We have to grow and change because if not we'd be the same person/junkie we were and that person will smoke again. Therefore we have to change :) You're doing gr8! You're posting, being honest and even through your anger you're still positive :) Good 4u! Keep up the gr8 work!!! WOOHOOOOOOO!!! You are not responsible for other peoples feelings,,, UNLESS u do something directly to someone that you know was wrong and deserves an apology. So in knowing that you're not responsible for other people's feelings, you can let that weight lift off your shoulders and just concentrate on having a wonderful day!
Another gr8 thing I've learned is...YOU CAN START YOUR DAY OVER ANYTIME YOU WANT AND AS MANY TIMES A DAY AS U WANT, LOL. Let that stuff goooooooo and have a GR8 POSITIVE FUN DAY :)
