Hi AC Gripe and moan all you like , just don't smoke. That's what the forum is for. Sometimes we're in pain and sometimes we just have to vent. And you're not crazy. You've been through this before and you CAN succeed. I know it's hard. Nobody knows that more than I do how tough it is. You're through the worst of it. breather 67 Addict 0

I am so sorry you are having such a hard time, made even harder by the timing distance. I do know what that kind of isolation and the lost and lonely feeling that you seem to be going through right now. I am sending a huggle to you in hopes that it may allay some of the sadness ((((SPECIAL HUGGLE ♥)))) and for you to realize that you are an important person here, and that there are a lot of people who truly do care about you and about your success in your quit. You have made a lot of friends here, so please have the faith in yourself that we have in you. YOU CAN AND WILL DO THIS. For you, for your children, for your health, and for your LIFE. I know you may be tired of hearing this, but take some deep breaths, maybe a hot soak with candles, and some nice refreshing green tea. I have found that it helps with my nerves and gives me a feeling of wellness, hard to explain but maybe you could give it a try? Keep up the good work, the pot of gold is at the end of the rainbow. Keep your eye on the prize!!!

You take care of YOU

Long healing (((HUGGLE)))

Hi msreader 1,

It's early morning here and I'm waiting for my daughter to wake up so we can go swimming, so I browsed the SSC which is what I do so rarely nowadays and I read your so very human post and my heart went out to you. It brought back the thoughts and feelings I went through...so long ago now and I suppose that's the thing that's so wonderful, as that particular angst is no longer part of my life and it won't be part of yours the more you travel the road. Your journey will get better and better, I promise you. I was a hardened 40 a day and so thoroughly addicted I swear I unconsciously woke myself up at night to have a cigarette.....the freedom I now have is remarkable and I so wish that for you as soon as ever possible.

Keep breathing...the deeper the better. I shall be thinking of you and sending my very best wishes. Lilly x

So it's late afternoon here. That means the majority of you guys are sleeping tight right now. One of the problems with this set up. It doesn't always work for me to post and wait for 5 responses. It's a ghost town Jim!!

I posted and read a little and started to get off but decided to just gripe my way through "not-smoking". You know how sometimes, even when it's difficult, it's not too bad. Other times you feel like the act of "not-smoking" is a very physical and damn near impossible thing. You need someone to talk to you while you're "not-smoking" to be the light at the end of the small tunnel, the "follow my voice" person, the "you're not alone" person.

I'm not going to smoke. I know that. I'm positive. I'm just foggy and craving and lonely with it.

This is the silent time for me. I can't call my "crutches" in the states because they're asleep. It's the time of day when I feel most alone here in the country that's wonderful, but just isn't my home. It's definitely when, on any other Saturday, I would have grabbed a book and a smoke and hustled outside to get lost again. And sometimes I just feel that more than others.

On another note, we really do need a section of these forums labeled "*****ing and moaning"!!!!

Just for crazies like me. Forgive me, the kids just won't stop asking me questions (I made one of them cry with my bad mood - guilt) and I screwed up lunch (I can't cook), and I'm sun burned (very, very badly). Things seem to just be weighing on me today.

Thanks for listening. My rant helped.
