Hi Ex I was just checking old posts and was so glad to see that you are still with us. It's one h*** or a ride but we do it so much better holding each other up. We are all here waiting for your arrival back! Somehow we'll get through those terrible days and we will celebrate the good ones. Let's get rid of the nicodemon once and for all. Take good care of yourself and come back soon.

Hey Ex... I'm just a day or two behind you. I will quit - again - Sunday morning. I sort of see myself in your slip up. It's what I worry about the most...getting into a situation where I need some comfort and not having my smokes. I'm learning that there are other things that can work BETTER in times of stress (especially emotional stress) than smoking. And in a way, smoking is adding insult to injury since it just perpetuates the addiction until it finally ruins our health. Try thinking about being smoke-free till you see your daughter again and plan a special reward time to share with her. And when I get shaky - my daughters take turns driving mom over the edge - I'll come looking for help from you! Hang in there.

hi ex-slave, I hope you're doing ok, you've had a really rough time lately. I'm not gonna tell you it was ok to smoke (you know its not :p) but i'm almost at that point myself right now. Last week lots of work problems, this week ex-boyfriend problems....so frustrated but i've promised myself i'm gonna be strong...(haha and thats why the tears are running down my face at almost 5am when i should be sleeping) oh well better tears than smoking i guess. Sending my last positive thoughts to you, be strong with me ok

Hi Ex-slave, Well done for quitting AGAIN!!!! I have a close friend of mine who had to quit due to bad health, he managed 7 months, had one cigarette and seems to have forgotten his quit altogether. You haven't done this - even under your difficult circumstances. I am sure you will use this experience to make your quit even stronger. Don't make yourself feel worse by feeling guilty, the cravings will be enough torture. Sending you all my best wishes, Deli xxx

The yahoo ID is one of my email addresses. I thought I gave them both to you. If you don't have the hotmail address, send an email to the yahoo one... the yahoo ID is the same as my yahoo email address. Glad to see you're still quit. Glad I could help. I look forward to hearing from you. Crave the Quit!

ex-slave, It's a 2 hour difference from here to the West Coast, but you're right... at 10-11 in the morning, but next week, on Tuesday, I could be on at 9pm my time (7 your time) or if we don't meet up then, I could do ANYTIME on Thursday that you want... I'm completely off on Thursday. So, let's try Tuesday if we can, and use Thursday (either morning or evening... your choice) as a backup. Does that sound good? Look forward to talking with you. Crave the Quit!

Ex-Slave, If you have IM, then I'd love to find a time to chat with you and give you my email address and/or IM ID's anytime you think you need somebody to talk to "one on one." I'd really like to "keep an eye on you" just like Shevie. :) We're here to look after you! We don't want to see this happen again! So let us know what we can do to help. Crave the Quit!
