Duckie,
I'm at 3 weeks and a day and I still have those moments when the world just seems to bend a little and nothing appears to be right. I cry while watching a comedy for crying out loud!
Then there is the arguement I can CLEARLY hear going on in my head; where the sane part of me is yelling at all body parts:
"SHUT the H*** up, EVERYTHING is going to be JUST FINE....We've just run into a bit of fog here and things will clear up very soon.
"Teeth, let go of fingernails right this second! We need to work together to keep mouth closed."
"Mouth, don't even think about it!" Mouth....Mouth....MOUTH!!!!"
"Alright everyone... prepare to duck!"

I'd did some perusing around the Forum and see a number of Threads specific to groups. Where would you want to put the Thread and I will be happy to keep a close eye on it till you get back to more frequent visits.
This can't all fall on one person's shoulders folks. It has to be a team effort to keep one another up and motivated when we are at our weakest. We all want to succeed at this! To do so, we all must help to hold one another up as needed...in return, each member will be assured of support when they are in most need of it.
Fact is that there are moments in this process that continue to surprise me and shove me off guard. Apparently, in my reading other members posts, I'm not alone in this phenomena.
I get my eyes slammed by tears of emotions I've never felt. I HAVE NEVER cried this much in my life! Everything hits me wrong. I take offense where none was intended and, I have proven to myself over and over again that my emotions are off the chart and not to be trusted at this time.
I am assured by other memebers posts that this insanity will begin to subside soon. I hope to heavens so...its driving me crazier!!!!
What I'm hoping for is a place to go where I can cry, whine, snivel, get a boot when it seems appropriate and a lifesaving hand to reach for when the desire for a cigarette is so bad immediate help is needed.
So, I'm in...point me in the right direction please.

Good morning everyone!
Eve, so help me it was my honor to be there when you needed it most. No doubt, NO DOUBT, I will need the same thing at some point in this journey. Besides... between the gurggles from you chugging quarts of WD-30 and that soap on a rope thing you kept swinging in the air....I had a pretty darn good time.
I am very very happy that you didn't smoke hon, so help me. I am SO proud of you...you are a real trooper!
Duckie,
Doesn't sound like you lost your noodle at all!!! I have that fight in my head ALL THE TIME. When I hear the back and forth going on in my head...I produce a third party voice that basically treats the other two as children who are bickering over a piece of candy. When the fighting in my head gets too loud or irritating, I tell them to shut the heck up and go to their SEPARATE rooms for 5 minutes or until they think they can come out and play nice. If I hear one of them pop out, I yell at them to get back in their room. So far this tactic has worked.........
I dunno what I'm gonna do if one of them needs a spanking. I'm gonna look ridiculous trying to chase the voice down with a wooden spoon!!!
EVERYONE....have a wonderful quit day!!!

The way I figure it, with the actual physical chemical now out of my system, I am dealing with mental rebellion...my brain is acting like a child...temper tantrums and all!
It works for me and I

Folks I had Eve on SCC Messenger and then it knocked me off. When I got back she wasn't logged on. And she is having a real tough time.
Eve, try to message me again right away when you are logged back on here.
