Thanks, I think I will run to the library tonight after work. I need something else to read anyway. It is the mental part that I struggle with, so maybe his books will help.

having a bad day

I am right in the middle of the state of WI, one day it is 40 then the next it is -80, it sucks. It is much harder for women I think. I have read it in many different places, It's not a nice thing to say, because it gives men the short end of the stick...it isn't easy for anyone. I have to admit, I have maybe screamed once or twice, I am on the other end, I am either sleeping or crying. Not so much anymore, but that is what my family was dealing with. Today I have one of those days where I have this dull urge that just won't leave..its driving me crazy!! I am so glad you are all here with me today, it breaks up the day for me. ;) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]12/6/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 57 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,710 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $213.75 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 4 [B]Hrs:[/B] 16 [B]Mins:[/B] 27 [B]Seconds:[/B] 26

having a bad day

Well Moss, thank goodness your around...I was beginning to wonder if you took off somewhere. You kinda have my husband pegged pretty well, the problem is, is that after 15 years he is still infatuated with me and I should be flattered, but right now I am not that same me...so it bothers him. We work at the same business, so today on our breaks, instead of me going with him and watching him smoke, he walked with me and didn't. maybe it is a turn in the right direction. However, even if not, I have all of you. Good to hear from you!! ;) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]12/6/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 57 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,710 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $213.75 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 4 [B]Hrs:[/B] 16 [B]Mins:[/B] 37 [B]Seconds:[/B] 51

Weekend Parade

I will hop on this train with the rest of you...it might get me out of cleaning my house all weekend. Here in WI we have been dumped with snow and really cold weather. I would have some brandy to warm up, but I am too afraid to drink alcohol yet. Here is to all of us not smoking!!!! CHEERS!!

HERE IS A GOOD EXCUSE

So, you all have been making me feel so good today after I posted about the heck my hubby was giving me..now get this. I just find out that my father in law who quit for a year and a half has been closet smoking for the last month. ( He was an inspiration to quit) that was quit a downer, I thought, what if I do that too?) I worry about everything. So, I come and read these wonderful posts from the long time quitters and realize, not everybody does that. Here is the best part. My mother in law who has been lying to everybody except me about her being quit says..."You really should just start smoking, it makes you feel better, you won't be depressed or upset anymore." What? I hate enough guts to say...smoking makes you feel better? Have you heard your short breathing you have lately? Anybody else run up against being afraid they will slip or have retarded inlaws? My side of the family of the family, nobody smokes, my grandpa used to but is a chewer now and he's 93. Everybody on my hubbys side smokes. I am rambling. I just get so upset with stupid talk like that...all my junkie thoughts need is permission from somebody to smoke...makes you feel better..how stupid. I am venting and ruining the weekend. Sorry. AAAAHHHHHHH!! Have a good weekend to all!! :mad: [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]12/6/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 57 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,710 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $213.75 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 4 [B]Hrs:[/B] 16 [B]Mins:[/B] 49 [B]Seconds:[/B] 22

HERE IS A GOOD EXCUSE

Oh thanks goodness somebody replied to me, I am always worried about failure. I do have a lot of co workers that have been quit for many years and would never go back. My big worry is that March 1 we do the annual trip with the inlaws to Florida, which is awesome to get out of the cold, but 14 of us stay in one house..and pretty much argue. I would smoke my way through that vacation every year. I have been trying to come up with other strategies. I will hang with the kids by the pool while the rest of them smoke and drink themselves to death I guess...boy I am crabby for a Friday night.!! ;) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]12/6/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 57 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,710 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $213.75 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 4 [B]Hrs:[/B] 16 [B]Mins:[/B] 53 [B]Seconds:[/B] 45

HERE IS A GOOD EXCUSE

Thanks Den..your right, I listen to my mother in law breathe and it is really scary. I know she means well most of the time, but your right, my hubby usually doesn't repeat to me the junk that comes out of her mouth. The one good thing I have been doing without my family knowing is that everyday I set aside the cig money I would have spent and hid it. We will have a lot of extra money for that vacation...they can spend it on 5.00 per pack cigs, I am going to have fun. Thanks Den and Jan!!
