Oh Cherie - wish I had been here. If you were here at 4:17 in the morning, this must have been a lonely place :( to be having an anxiety attack and a strong crave too! Glad you finally found Lady, the miracle worker, who seems to have time to talk to everyone and study and find hats all at once! Glad you are feeling a little better. You have done way too well to even THINK of smoking as an option. you gotta wash that thought right outta your head....you know the tune? the movie? Hugs. Carole

That's great. YOU CAN DO THIS - YOU REALLY CAN! Nobody said it would be easy huh? I'm really glad you didn't fold Cherie. Keep up the good fight. If I could I'd use the IM stuff but we block those ports here at work for obvious reasons. If you need us we are here. Post and DO NOT SMOKE - wait for the reply. We will respond...... Hugs.....

Good Morning Cherie - how are you doing today? I'm hanging in there and holding the line. Got no other choice. How was the pizza?

Joyful - One thing at a time. Force yourself to deal with one issue at a time. Do what you can about it, then drop it for now. Focus on another thing. Don't let it all build up. In the mean time, realize that no matter what situation is thrown at you, you can be okay. The situation might suck out loud, but you don't, and neither does being alive. Things have a way of working out. If you don't like something, change it. Good luck in your business. Believe it or not, I'm a software developer and I own the local movie theatre in town. A small one screen theatre with 95 seats. Business is hard. It's going to require a lot of tyour thought process. Focus your energies there. Smoking wont help you no matter what is going on. You did the right thing by coming to the board and posting. Sorry I wasn't on a that time I would have responded right away. Keep strong and stay here. If you need us shout.

2:41am, I'm going to go to bed and sleep through this. This sucks! I'm going to say my prayers & hopefully wake up back to normal. Wow this is strong and hit me really hard!

Ok,,,I'm breathing! It's 2:17am and I've been going through some confusing emotions the past couple days, topped with financial fear due to just starting my business. But I think this craving I'm having is more from the emotional state I've been in. It must be the confusion part b/c when I understand my feelings then I feel more in control and that's just not happening right now. Or maybe I'm not confused and really seeing it so clearly and that's why I'm dealing with it by taking strong action. I know I'm not making any sense but I know what I'm saying, lol. I can't go into detail without embarrassing myself. The point is I got involved in something that I new better than to do and then I got out of it. And my actions were very direct in getting away from something that's not good for me. And then in doing so (which was a good thing) it left me feeling a little confused. Anyhow, then on top of that I've been putting on weight and I'm broke and then tonight told my pool team that I'm not going to play next session but the way it went down wasn't good. Then I came home and ate chips and ice cream and after the ice cream I had some kind of an anxiety attack and really strong craving for a cig. I'm calmer now that I've been sitting here typing the last 10 min's,,,sighhhhhhh. Just felt like a cig would taste super good a few min's ago. I don't now though. I guess when things get really bad and I'm not feeling hopeful & basically I'm feeling like I'm feeling like I'm no further ahead than when I quit drinking in 1996. I mean here I am broke again and making the same mistakes I did in the 80's! When everything seems hopeless & like all the work I've done is for nothing then a cig won't hurt anything. I'm hangin in there though! No matter what don't lite up... Keep on keepin on... Cherie

Thanks everybody :) I'm still smoke-free. I'm hanging in there. I need to get the picture of going to the 7-11 right up the street and buying a pack of cig's outta my head though cuz that's what the junkie in me wants me to do. I read everything, even my own advice that cuddles posted (lol, no fair cuddles!). Reading all your posts brought out some big crocodile tears but I know I need to cry more in order to make it through this phase. I'm going to lay down and do some relaxation stuff. I'm really hating this! No matter what don't lite up... Keep on keepin on... Cherie
