Thank you Ladybug, Josie, Unhooked and you too blue cloud. If you don't mind, I certainly will take your hand. Ladybug I may even use that number you gave me but I'm afraid to. There are things I can't discuss. It's all just kind of a fog right now. Thanks for the support. I really needed the hand and could use a few hugs as well.

Hang in there Lady, This has not been easy for me either. It rained all the way to work this morning and I could think of a hundred reasons to smoke but only one not too. Don't loose what you have. I just keep telling myself. "Don't loose what you have." It wont help anyway. Grab my hand and we will shake together.lol [color=Blue]BLUE CLOUD[/color] [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]7/4/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 103 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,060 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $412.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 13 [B]Hrs:[/B] 17 [B]Mins:[/B] 41 [B]Seconds:[/B] 39

lady, You made it through. Yes, just junkie thinking and you have your family to be thinking about right now. Refocus and if you have too get out those coping mechanisms and put them back in place. Give your boyfriend a hug and thank him for the support. You will get through this and we are holding your hand :) Josie, Support Specialist

Sorry you had a rough weeekend, Lady. I hope whatever happened has been resolved in the best way. So glad you didn't smoke, you're right that it wouldn't have chnged anything. In fact, it would have made things worse in many ways. Keep slapping that junkie down, Lady. You get stronger every time you win!

This weekend was great and horrible all in one. Saturday something happened that made me want to throw in the towell. I will not share the details here but will tell you it was one of the most emotionally disturbing things I've ever experienced and it involved my kids. That was it. We were on our way to my boyfriends house and I said stop at the gas station, I need to get something. When he asked what, I said I NEED a pack of cigarettes right now! That is it, I am through. I don't care anymore! That is the final straw. I quit quitting. Being an ex-smoker himself (over 20 years quit) he refused. He said he could use a drink too but that wasn't happening and neither was smoking. I pleaded with him to please stop. Fortunately for me, he won that battle and I'm still smoke free today. At any time, anything can threaten our quits. I keep saying that nothing is worth smoking again but this weekend and even now I wonder. I am not running out to buy any smokes, but I'm not stepping foot in any gas stations either. Smoking doesn't help a thing. It really isn't an escape. It is just a junkie thought that doesn't stop. The junkie never dies but we do learn to control the junkie inside. Lately, I've had some close calls. That really worries me. The statements above are more for myself than anyone else. I will repeat them again, mainly because [b]I[/b] need to. [list] [*]Smoking doesn't help a thing.
