Phillip, its freezing rain outside so don't make me drive to Toronto to talk some sense into you!! Oh yeah and besides that I haven't a clue where you live...my throat hurts and I'm not sure how many streets I'd get down yelling Riverdaleman, Riverdaleman before I lost my voice. Is there anyway your health and relationship issues will be solved quickly, or are they excuses for the junkie? Don't give into that junkie please, we need you here for your wise support. And while i'm not the greatest advice giver I am also here when you need support too.

Hi Phillip, I hope that the catharsis of writing that post helped you get rid of the old Nicodemon breathing on your shoulder. It sounds to me like you worked that one out ok on your own, but I just wanted to say that you are not on your own, since we are all here with you, willing you to stay strong. Don't smoke. Smoking never made anyone's life any easier. Sending you my best wishes, Deli [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 8/1/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 167 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,516 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �501 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 14 [B]Hrs:[/B] 2 [B]Mins:[/B] 43 [B]Seconds:[/B] 36

Phillip, You know all to well that smoking will not solve anything and you also know that you will not like the taste if you smoke so don't even think it or go there. You will also feel more down if you let yourself be lead down the smoking path. Go back to your chest of coping tools and pull some out and use them, it will pass; they always do. Smoking is not a cure, an answer, or something to enjoy. It is a curse and remember that point. Recite the reasons for guitting. The mind retrains itself as you find substitutes for the act of smoking. You need to push the thought our of your mind by thinking of other things when it the smoking thought occurs. Stickintoit

Phillip, How I wish I had the correct words to say to you to ease your pain, but unfortunately, I do not know what to say. It's hard to stand strong in the midst of trying times, when we are just tired and everything around you whispers to your mind to give in to what you have been fighting to keep all along, simply because your mind is searching for some tranquility. Your mind screams out and you just want it all to go away, but at the same time, you're trying to keep certain things into perspective. What to do? Dig deep down within yourself, Phillip. Look for that inner strength to re-confirm what you already know about junkie thinking. I know it's hard, sometimes you just simply want to "rest", but keep in mind that that little monster inside will stop at nothing until he gets his way, if given the opportunity. The junkie thoughts knows our weaknessess and will use them to the very end to shake every aspect of our lives, if we allow it. What a deceiver this addiction is. I hope you are doing better. And yes, it IS a brand new day. Remember, things have a way of working themselves out, and then you realize that, had you have known the end result, you didn't really need to sweat it after all, because it all worked out in the end. Hang tough, my friend.

RVDMAN we both knew you would remain a non-smoker...............Be proud. This thing will let go eventually, stay away from false pleasure i.e cigarette smoke, fresh or otherwise, it's a harmful mirage. At this point picking up a cigarette would be so destructive mentally and physically, the result would be utter depression sense of failure and shame, it's not worth it. Take care of yourself, are you baking???? enjoy the pies ....
