Serenity, Have you ever given any thought to getting a cell phone or finding an activity or a class you & your daughter could do together? Hope this helps. Danielle ______________________ The SSC Support Team

14-year-olds have friends and should be out doing things, too. Unlike a very young child who has to have 24-hour care, adolescents are in the phase of their lives of moving into social settings and away from spending all day and night with their parents. That should provide you with some time for YOU. Time for YOU will help you meet other people and develop your own social relationships. And when you have something that YOU want to do, can't your daughter spend the night at a friend's? Also, having a job should in no way stop you from doing volunteer work. Lots of folks do both. I do both and am going to school, too. If you want to do something bad enough, magically you will find a way to do it. I am not saying that you don't have legitimate issues. But I worry that you are mostly focusing on the negative and seeing your future in a dark and gloomy way. How about trying to create a new vision of how you want your life to be? That will open up all kinds of opportunities for you, I guarantee it.

Serenity.....I changed my life by starting back to church. There are a few people there who smoke, but most do not....I got involved with every aspect of it I could in the beginning....since, I have dropped the things that didn't fit in, or weren't my cup of tea.....but I now have this big extended family....and I am never at a loss as to who to call if I need a friend. Yes, it takes a bit of "time" to accomplish this.....but it was SO worth the effort. and there isn't a weekend "without plans" now. :) Katy [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/4/2002 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 1898 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 75,937 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $10818.6 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 250 [B]Hrs:[/B] 8 [B]Mins:[/B] 48 [B]Seconds:[/B] 47
