Thanks everyone for the support. What a wild ride this quitting thing can be. I am feeling much stronger now, not that I can't still be thrown. I am paying special attention to my feelings and how to manage this quit. Thanks again!
I love that line...Crave the Quit!

Hey Bingo (love your name),
After re-reading my post I feel very much like Chief Inspector Drefuss with the suction cup arrow stuck to his forehead after falling in the water several times. I believe I would be "Lunatic Joonie"! Thank goodness my humor is starting to return. Humor, I am sure a very important element to a successful quit. Anyway, Thanks for the right-on reply! How many end to end cigs make up one school bus length? Oops, should have mentioned, 100's. We can absolutely do this with the right attitude!

dear lunatic joonie - love that name.
thankfully sanity does return in this process. So does perspective and a sense of humor. Glad to see you giggling.

Joonie,
Looks like you need some you time. Take a step back and realize that this is normal and will pass. You need to relax yourself and get rid of the extra stress.
Take a few hours to yourself after the world winds down. Go over your mechanisms and use them if necessary. Try long walks, hot baths and a good book to keep you in check.
Keep Strong,
Josie
