Shortcake: Well, you GO, GIRL!!! You got yourself through a major nicotine moment (ok, entire day, it sounds like). But you know what? This will make you and your quit SO much stronger! Applause, applause, applause for you!!! And one other thing I want you to keep in mind: You say you could see and hear (and smell) the smokers all laughing together. It's your mind that's telling you they're happy people having a smoke party. You know the truth! They all wish they could be nonsmokers -- like YOU!! They envy you tremendously. Don't forget that, ok? Good job today, Shortcake. Reward yourself big-time. Keep the faith -- and that oh-so-precious quit of yours!

Shortcake, its all in your mind. You really dont want them killers, do you? Do you want the be in that smoked filled coffin? Of cource you dont. Keep walking, think and smile. Remember, you dont smoke any more. The urge is strong again, control it. Its in your mind, rid that feeling. Clear your thoughts and the urge will pass! Attack it back, tell it that you hate it! Dont you hate it?

Shortcake - Breathe and get yourself centered/grounded... Do some quite deep breathing and just exhale all the stress, frustration and anger. Let the clock tick and just stay in your own power... YOU can do this!

Shortcake Keep breathing, and concentrate on just that. You will get through this. Let's think this through rationally. Going back to the old you....who is a slave, who stinks, who has bad breath, who is unhealthy, who is poor, who wishes they could quit. Smoking is not going to make you less angry, less anxious, less resentful, less hurt. The only thing it will do is MAYBE take away the craving....until the next one comes. You've left the back door open so that ye Ol Nicodemon can get a foot in. He will try anything to get you to smoke....any excuse. SHUT THE DOOR. You will not smoke no matter what happens. You have made a commitment and you need to have confidence and BELIEVE that you can do this. I know you can.

Yes you can pull it to the top! You have 18 days and this is a great start to a healthier and better you! Take a break and get out of there! Grab a coffee or treat for yourself and relax. Breathe deep and regain your strength. You can pass this test and tomorrow is another day. Make it through and go home and treat yourself right! Ease into sleep early and start the day fresh! We are there for you :) Josie ____________________ The SSC Support Team.
