Bump for those who might need it!  Need to give credit to Cristina and Rusty for keeping this gem floating around for nearly 10 years!

Cristina,
 
Thank you for the bump this morning.  You hit the nail on the head... I am in the grieving progress...Thank you for helping me and bringing this my attention this morning.  Sometimes it takes a second set of eyes to see things clearly.  Thank you for being here this morning and for caring enough to share this thread with me.

I can really relate to "the void". Yesterday, I was thinking how I felt like I'd lost my best friend. I had found comfort in ciggs for so long, it IS like losing a best friend. So I'm in my grieving process now. But thanks to people like y'all that posted on this thread, I know I can get past this and stay quit.
