ShawnX,
You have a really great quit going and I love the fact that when you had a craving that was strong...what did ya do? You came to SSC for support and distraction from that pull you were feeling.
That is why this place is so important to me and to my quit. The folks here are so awesome. They are here to listen and help and are here when you holler for help!

Bingo,
Thank you. I cried. What a wonderful post...and you just keep on writing those manifestos! I loved the highway analogy...so true.
Penguin,
First, I'm glad that you are not going to change your name! You will always be Penguin to us no matter what tuxedo you wear!
Second, welcome back!!!! I promise to be here for you. I promise to hold your hand and walk with you from one side of the highway to the other. I know you can do this. I feel it and believe it with all my heart. Hang tuff... and grab as many hands as you need to walk the walk!
HUGS
Ellen

Mountain,
First of all, CONGRATULATIONS on your 84 days quit! That is so great!
Second... When the negative emotions hit, I continually tell myself I can NOT trust my emotions AT ALL on the surface. I make myself wait to act on anything because I know that I am probably seeing things in a way that is different from reality. Now of course, I'm talking only about the negative emotions. I also continually remind myself that this is MY QUIT. That no one else did this to me..I did it to myself and therefore it isn't fair to take it out on other people. My son's have commented several times that this quit is so different from previous ones because I've not snapped at them at all during the past 41 days. I'm very please with myself for that! :)
The positive emotions??? I WALLOW in the positive emotions! I allow myself to cry with joy, compassion, love and all those things that make me generally happy. I don't even try to cut them off or hide them. I wear my tears with great pride because I know that I am getting better with each session of watery eyes.
And when it gets really bad...I come here to be with other folks who are going through the same thing...it helps tremendously.
