Ladybugg, Can't say that I'm happy that you have clinical depression, but I can say that I am proud of your quit. It's an inspiration.

Jerky Thoughts; Picking Fights

One of the reasons I wanted to quit smoking was because I was embarassed about it. Today I was walking through downtown. Smokers were outside the office buildings, it seemed like everywhere. Finally, I came across a large group huddled beneath a windbreaker (It can be cold in San Francisco during the summer). Well, I truly wanted to pick a fight with them, just for the hell of it. I wanted to yell out, You look stupid! I did manage to not to do so, but boy, now that I quit smoking I seem to require a good fight now and then.

Help

Good for you. I am a Patsy Cline fan and read that she quit smoking with each of her two pregnancies (probably because smoking while pregnant made her sick), and I wondered if I could quit smoking if I were pregnant? If being sick would even stop me.

Everything Starts With Willingness

I must admit, there have been many times that I have preferred ignorance. I'm often happier.

I think you're right. There was a little part of me that had some compassion.

I Don't Think it's Hormones

I think I'm tearful because I'm tired. This is so difficult. I just keep saying, One day at a time. Just do it for one day.

It would really help if I could see those internal organs. It's like I just have to have faith that they are being damage. No. I do not want to smoke. But I need to HALT. Can't sleep tonight. I'm on the West Coast of the USA.
