Thanks for the suggestions. I was just wondering if it was common or not. I also just read the forum called when will they end and find that people don't like these kinds of questions. Next Tuesday I suppose is when it will end. Whatever! I appreciate the help I got at first but feel my time here has past and that posts like that only make me want a smoke. Thanks alot and see you around. At least I wasn't bringing all my personal problems to you guys and whining about that.

I haven't been replying to anything for awhile but when I see that you are feeling bad, I just had to tell you that I hope you hang in there. We had the same quit date at one time and I am still struggling to stay quit. I made it through the death of one of my sisters and I'm now going through my daughter's divorce without a cig. I want to smoke so badly that I can taste the smoke filling my lungs and then exhaling it out. I have smoked in my mind. I am hoping that sometime this will all be worth it and the old timers on here tell me that it will be. I hope you reconsider your decision to stay away and come back and try again. I wish a bright future for all and I will never quit the quit.

I am fighting hard and I've been through hell. I've been depressed and even to the point of wondering if I'm dying. I would not go through that again for anything!!! I thought that if I quit I would feel wonderful and I don't. Somedays are ok but some days are not. I still get sob and I still wake up sometimes and have that brown stuff just laying in the back of my throat. I'm hoping for a rainbow at the end of this journey and I hope to find it soon. I have been to the dr. and he just wants to dope me up so I won't complain I guess. He seems to think that because I quit smoking that everything should be just peachey.I am working very hard on reinventing myself. My present goal is to eat healthy and to take good care of myself which is hard because every penny I make I spend on my kids and grandkids. I'm learning how to be good to myself slowly but surely. My kids have been my life and now I am alone and that makes it hard too. ok, enough. Sorry about that.

Well, I did it. I broke last night and had my one cig.and then on the way home I bought a pack. I couldn't take it anymore. I had been crying for days and didn't know why. God help me, this is hard!! It felt so good to smoke again and I feel so calm and peaceful but guilty at the same time. Tomorrow I will quit again. Hopefully this time for good. I hadn't smoked since 3/27/09. Please pray for me that I make it this time. I am calling it my one day of binging and I'm not going to beat myself up for it. I know that I can do it with your help!! Tomorrow is a new day.

Thanks for the encouragement. I have made it through almost all day. I am just choosing to not dwell on my failure. I am focusing on not having smoked but one day since 3/27/09. That's pretty darn good for someone who has smoked for over 40 years!! I'm doing pretty good today. I have thought of smoking a couple of times but not enough to make me want to buy another pack. Thank you all so much. I do want to stay positive this time. I let my cravings drive me bonkers last time!!

I am fighting the craving to smoke really badly right now. I know I will be going home soon and I will be driving by where I can buy a pack. I will fight hard!! I'm thinking that my quitting is like a blanket that I have crocheted. My quit was beautiful and perfect just like my blanket. My smoking was like someone pulling a piece of yarn and seperating my blanket. If I don't smoke, maybe I can repair the blanket (my quit) If I smoke, I may make the hole in the blanket so big that I might never repair it or worse yet, throw it in the corner and forget about it. Do you know what I mean? Wow, the cravings are bad. I think I'll hit the bed as soon as I get home tonight. Thanks for listening and I'll be back tomorrow. Deb
