I think I'm an angrier person now

Hello Butterfly, You are so cool!! Turn that anger into a positive thing. The addiction is whats getting you so angry. This is ok, its the mind game in progress. There is nothing wrong with getting angry or being miserable. Just realize that the addiction is causing you this anger and now you have to control it. You can do that by thinking of the addiction and how you are beating it. You are winning the fight and the addiction does not like this. When we are angry, we reach for the top pocket. But you control the anger the same way you are controling the addiction. The anger is in your mind. Tell yourself that you are a beatuifull person and you are smoke free and there is no reason to get angry. This is how you re-train your brain. KEEP THINKING POSITIVE AND RELAX! Close your eyes and think to yourself. Convince yourself that there is no reason to be angry no matter what situation you are in. Come to terms with yourself. Stop what you are doing when you get angry and think positive and even laugh a little even though there is nothing to laugh at. Please try this, it works. Remember, it is all in your head and we have the ability to change the way we think. Keep the anger towards the addiction and not towards your every day living. If you feel the urge to snap at someone, stop and focus the anger on the addiction. This works! Use it to your anvantage. The brain will respond to your thinking and you will lose that angerness.

Need Motivation!

Dont get me started on this trying issue! Want some cheese with that whine? You cant try, you have to STOP!!! You have to control your attitude and your desires in the same way the dam cigs controled you. If you let it beat you, you have to explain to your family that your have lung cancer and that will put so much hurt in you that you will wish you were dead. I know, my mom had to do just that! So stop whining and get your attitude right! You have no room for mistakes. READ ALL THE POSTS!!! Good luck!

My beautifull son is hysterical as his girlfriend holds him tight. My daughter is just standing there, looking at me, tears are dripping from her cheeks. Her nose is all red. Why is my mother weeping? Who are all these people standing over me? People I dont even know. All my friends look so sad and lonley. Why is father Mike olding my father? This place smells so beautiful, so pure. The music is so soothing. This cant be happening!! As I turn my head, I noticed the white silk cloth that surrounds by body. Can this be happening? Am I in a coffin? OMG, I AM DEAD!! This is me in that coffin! My face is plastered with ulgy make-up. Why am I waring this wig? My whole family looks like zombies!! I could hear my 16 year old son say," why, why didnt she quit smoking" "Why did she leave us. Who is going to love me now?" OH PLEASE GOD, LET ME WAKE UP. I promise you I will never smoke again, I PROMISE!! I cant bare to see my famile crying so hard! Why didnt I quit when I had the chance. Please, dont close the cover, I cant be dead! Why are you closing the cover?? Cant you people hear me? PLEASE STOP! Iam only 40 years old, I cant be dead! I have a lot of living to do. I want to see my children get married. Who is going to watch over and protect my daughter? How can I meet my grand children? Why didnt I listen? Please God, give me one more chance, I PROMISE NOT TO SMOKE AGAIN!! Where are they taking me? I can still hear them crying. My poor husband! This wasent suposed to happen like this! I was suposed to live a long life!! What WILL HAPPEN NOW. HOW COULD I HAVE HURT SO MANY PEOPLE!!
