O.k. hurstk...
Let me tell you somethin'...
All of this crap you're going through right now would have happened whether you were smoking or not.
The only thing YOU ARE in control of, if you want to be, is your quit.
How do I know?
The first week of my quit:
-- I had $1,000 worth of unexpected repair bills
-- I ended up in the emergency room with what thankfully *wasn't* a broken foot
-- I found out my employment contract wasn't being renewed so I was out of a job come the beginning of August
-- A pipe burst in my finished basement resulting in nearly a foot of water everywhere, destroying everything in the process
The weeks since then haven't been any better:
-- I still don't have a job
-- I had to endure two horrible remaining weeks at the old one
-- My car now needs a complete brake job which will be several hundred dollars
-- We had horrendous storms here this week -- we've been out of power, out of phone service, water, sewer, etc. etc. etc. for 3.5 days -- with temps hovering around 100 degrees
-- And, the one person who could "make it all better" -- my significant other -- is 4,000 miles away, and not reachable by phone or email.
In a nutshell, life pretty much has sucked ever since I quit-- but I made up my mind no matter what crap life continues to throw at me, I'm going to be able to hold my held up feel proud about at least one thing -- that I didn't give up and give in.
You can do the same, hurstk, if u choose and want to.
Just remember, life will go on one way or another regardless. How you cope with all life throws your way is the only thing you have the power to decide.
Best,
Livadia
