Thanks guys. Love the positive reinforcement.

Faryal.. exactly. I am so thankful for this site for the great suggestions.

It's like everyone is all struggling up the mountain, connected together by a climbing rope.

We help each other avoid missteps so we can all be at the summit together!

Thanks for the lingo clarification. Daily is such a hipster!

Good job Henny Penny.............you handled a tough situation very well!

This is a great learning experience for you because it is crucial to develop other coping strategies in the face of highly stressful or disappointing situations. I'm sorry that you have been let down............but I am so glad that you didn't let yourself down by reaching for a smoke!

I believe UNC stands for Under No Circumstances..............is that right Daily?

Keep up the great work!

Thank you all for the rescue. That was a bad one.

Ok, I'm back from a long walk and cold shower. Thank you for the idea Stickin. Removing myself from the incident was what I needed.

Good workout and good release. I started to get a little teary while walking because what happened this morning was a bitter, bitter disappointment to me. It never ceases to amaze me that people don't keep their word. OK, so I'm on a learning curve to handle emotions. Just a small freak out on the road to success, right???

I'll remember all of your comments the next time I'm hopping mad.

Goofy - yes, it's true. I do care but maybe a little too much. That is what happens when your work is your passion, I guess. Wish I was logical but I will follow your lead and drink tea. The cold glass of water I might dump on my head. :)

Lisa - yes that's right stinky poo!! Not for me!

Sparky- nope, sure don't. I like that kleenex idea. LOL

Daily - The walk was great. Hate to sound like a dolt but what is UNCNOPE? I know NOPE but the other is not coming to me. ???

And CD - You are dead on. Yeah (sigh) out of my control. When will I learn that? I'm such a hard head.

I will keep these things in mind for next time. That was the problem... didn't prepare, couldn't cope. Big, big, so big thanks to you guys!!!

Luckily we live on hill so any walk involves a lot of puffing and panting to get home. Great to see the benefits of not smoking, I actually can make it up the hill without keeling over!!

xoxo to you all!!!

your pal,

Henny

HP -

Some things are beyond your control. Your quit is not. You will maintain your quit I'm sure. The offenders behavior is not an excuse to fold. Yes, feel angry, but disassociate it with smoking.

YOU DO NOT NEED OR WANT A SMOKE - IT WILL NOT HELP

How did the walk work for you, HP? This is a stress point that will serve you well when you come up against people problems in the future... UNCNOPE

Hey, look at my stats - you don't want to go there do you? Walking is good, really good. Take a kleenex and make a little doll and stick it with pins (lol). You will be fine, you have done the RIGHT thing. You will do just fine.

Keep the Quit

Being angry is actually OK. It shows that you care about your work. If something came up that you should get angry about, and you didn't get angry, it shows that you don't care. Right?

You know that sometimes when I get to that point, I have a foam ball I squeeze until the anger passes, and I can be logical.

The thing to remember, if you're thinking of smoking, is that that won't help anything.

Try to calm yourself and be rational. Have a cup of tea, or a nice big glass of ice water.

We're all in this together.
