Thanks for sharing that with us, what a wonderful story. YOur little girl sounds very wise beyond her years, but most important she has given you every reason you need to stay quit. Congratulations, you are doing awesome!!! PS, I went to bed early for a few months just to avoid thinking anymore, but it does get better and you will be able to stay up again some day.

My hubby who is VERY proud of my quit, wasn't any help either in the early days. What a cool story. Julia sounds even better than my golden retriever who I let get in bed with me while I sobbed my way through week one. A reward for the two of you at the end of this week sounds like an awesome idea!! Keep it up!

Denisey I enjoyed this story telling of your learning experience with your daughter. What a lasting example of real love. You have brightened my day. Golferman there really is another side of you that very seldom gets out here at the SSC and it is good to see that every now and then. Duffis

Denisey-A distant cousin told me in the beginning of my quit that he had found out things about himself that he never would have known any other way. Look at the magical bond you are forming with your little one. What a neat inspiring story. Good luck to both of you-I am sure you get so much strength from this young child. We all have our own quit stories but this is one of the best.

Denisey, What a truly delightful story and a true example of real love....sharing a problem. Children DO understand things so much better than we do, as their minds are uncluttered. They take us straight to the answer. My 3 year old grand daughter was my inspiration...her nickname is Lolly....look how far she has taken me. Your daughter will do the same for you and you will thank her for your life and your freedom! You are a very lucky lady! NEVER LOOK BACK, THE FUTURE IS AHEAD!!! Lolly. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 11/25/2004 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 423 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 14,830 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �2115 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 58 [B]Hrs:[/B] 22 [B]Mins:[/B] 49 [B]Seconds:[/B] 24

our children....they are just little "miracles" aren't they?? and mommies and daughters just have a special bond....I sat here, thinking of my own daughter and now her daughters, I cried with love and wonder at your story even though I understand it perfectly. Hold that little one close OFTEN.
