The replies to my introductory post are certainly inspirational and heart warming and I appreciate them all very much.
Day 38 and I am doing okay apart from the occasional tug. Morning coffee is still a tough one and I imagine it will be for a long time.
I'm sad to say my partner succumbed to the nicodemon but she is determined to get back on the horse again very soon. The differences in our withdrawal were remarkable and it was difficult to watch her suffering as she was. She cried almost non stop for the past few weeks and simply just couldn't hold it together for any length of time. Given her normal bubbly disposition and ability to cope with most anything, it was a clear illustration of how powerful the wicked weed is.
Thank you,nonic, for such a thought provoking piece that oozes logic. I have passed it on to my partner and am sure she will benefit from your words as many of us "quitters" will. To me, understanding what is happening and why is a big part of my quit and there is a large measure of reassurance when I see others who are coming to terms with what is going on in our minds and bodies.
Hi Stucool and CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You certainly deserve kudos for two very important things.....first, making your decision to quit and second, for your day three milestone. Good going!!!!
Sung to the appropriate Sunshine tune. Groans and moans are okay.
You are our Sunshine
Our determined Sunshine
You will pull through this
Cause we are with you
Sunshine you'll be just fine
Sunshine, at the first sign of any oogy feelings you are to sing this song.....even if it's under your breath. Maybe it should be but when you sing it think of your strength and the collective arms here giving you a big hug.

Forget anything negative about being back, especially any feelings of embarassment. Everyone here knows they are just one cigarette from being in the exact same spot so there will be no pot calling kettles things in here by gubbies.
It's kinda like we are all in a big circle holding hands for dear life and we constantly shuffle our bums along a little bit to let the next one in .
Keep talkin' and we'll keep listenin' cause you are worth it!
