Nascar, you are doing great cos despite Old Nic's best efforts (he is throwing the kitchen sink at you) you are resisting the craves. It might not be easy but you are doing it, every minute that you tresist the nearer you get to never having to feel like this ever again. Hang on in there honey, it is going to be so wirth it in the end.

Nas, missed this too until this morning (over here) but cyber hugs are coming your way and glad to hear that things are improving. These things are often sent to test us and you are passing that test admirably - keep it up!

Just keep venting here!! go in your car and scream at the top of your lungs if it helps. Yeah you will probally get looks but who cares what they think. If if helps I say do it. It does get easier but I am sure you don't want to hear that right now... :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 6/8/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] -14 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 0 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $0 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 0 [B]Mins:[/B] 0 [B]Seconds:[/B] 0

Hi Nascarfan, sorry I missed you when you were feeling blue, but your sounding in the pink now!! That's great to hear. Just remember how you got through this and DID IT if you ever feel overwhelmed again. Also remember this journey is a huge learning experience for us all, and you've learned a valuable lesson this time. You can do this and you are!! WHOO HOO!! Doesn't it feel great?!! By the by, I actually watched a Nascar race this weekend and found it strangely interesting. lol. New experiences... ain't life grand?

The day is winding down and the hours are passing. Right now they may seem like they are crawling, but they are going by. Sit yourself down with a nice cup of tea or hot chocolate. spend some time painting your toe nails. Take some deep breaths and relax, then when you are relaxed, stand up and shake off this sadness. This does not last forever. One day the fight will be easier and you will be glad that you hung in there. Your loosing an old friend (who really isn't a friend), but there is a loss and you are starting to deal with it. One day, one hour, one minute at a time. And before you know it....a smile will return. Just like the sunshines after a storm.

Ok Nas, Take a breather and relax! It is about you for the rest of the day :) Read a book or go for a long walk and relax. Remember start fresh tomorrow and don't let this over power you! Keep Strong, Josie _____________________ The SSC Support Team.
