Ex-slave, call the police, chew your straw, drink some icewater, kick, scream, break dishes, just don't smoke. Smoking will not bring your camera back. Unfortunately, not everyone has moral ethics that they live by. There are times that emotional stuff still send me spinning for a cigarette as well. But we both know that smoking would be giving in to the addiction again. You don't want to do that ex-slave. That would be submitting yourself to the slavery again. No way! You have come too far to turn back now. This will pass and you will still be a non-smoker. Hang in there and remember to take it one step at a time. YOu will make it.

[quote] I don't want to be addicted again. [/quote] What a great "Choice". Isn't it nice to know that as long as you don't light that next cigarette you don't ever have to be a slave to the addictoin again. Now that is Freedom of choice! Glad you are feeling better and glad you are still with us - smokefree. Very proud of you and you should be too.

I just realized that my very expensive digital camera is gone out of my bedroom. I have done some professional photography in the past, always had it as a serious hobby, and just last year bought a very expensive digital SLR. You can take off the lense and replace with larger lenses, etc; just like a 35 mm camera. I keep it in a camera bag in my closet; and it is gone. Gosh, I haven't seriously thought about smoking for a while. I am so upset about this. I have already cried. Now I am searching my brain about who has been in my house. I have a roomie with friends that are over. My son just moved out last month..maybe one of his friends??? Why this?? I am chewing a straw. My roomie has cigs. I am calling the police. FRICK!!!

thanks lady, I'm hanging in there. I've called the police. I can't figure out WHO would do this? I have to search through papers to try and find the serial number. %$#&*(%^&*)_*^%#@@%$^%. I can't live without my camera; and I'm just getting ready to go on vacation..damn!

thanks bfs, you are so right. But this rivals all other experiences as the hardest situation I have been through without smoking. that camera was so important to me. I worked and saved to be able to even have it. I will let it go. It is just a material item. It can be replaced. you are right, bfs; I will not give my quit to this already upsetting turn of events. thanks for the support.

thanks marie, Hi Rusty, I guess that pawn shops here are required to report all the items that they take in each day to the police. I found the serial number, so they will check the serial numbers for my camera. Who knows? Maybe I will get lucky. Sorry to hear about your jewelry also...to have the joyful sensation that it was found, only to be let down again when your jewelry bag was empty...that really sucks. I am going to my grandson's birthday party today. Then my daughter has a dance performance this afternoon. All around non smokers; so I am fortunate to have some pleasurable activites planned for today. Thanks everyone for your concern. I MADE IT WITHOUT A CIGARETTE!!!! I can't believe it!

thanks, rusty,lady,ironic,and Josie, I just HATE theives. I worked so hard to get that camera. I paid it off a month at a time for 6 months! %$$#@ WHO went in my room and took it? I don't like the idea that a person who steals has been in my house. I need to be able to leave anything I want anywhere I want in my own home and not fear that it will get stolen. I made it through last night without running for the comfort of my drug, nicotine. My roomie was here and I could of bummed one very easily, so I am proud. I am just cravings like mad now, feel uncomfortable, sad, invaded, furious, and tearful. I truly hope that there is an afterlife so I get to find out who did this!!! But, if there is, I'll be a more perfect person then and won't want to tear their head off!

thanks ironic, I feel better today. My daughter danced at a local art museum today A photographer hired her as a model for his new series of photos "a day in the life of a dancer". His exhibit opened today at the art museum and my daughter did a dance piece. I was so proud of her; and so glad that she is following her dreams. It did make my heart ache for my missing camera, looking at the photos on display. BUT, I have not smoked. I will make it through. I may be miserable for a while, so be it. I don't want to be addicted again.

Can you check the local pawn shops? Whoever took it probably didn't intend to take pictures with it. Maybe the police can help you with that?
