Hi Kate, Sorry to hear about Buddy. They are our best friends and family and to lose them does break our heart, smile at all the memories. I was into the 2nd week of my quit, and my Grandmother passed away. I live in Australia, and she was in the UK...I had the phone call in the middle of the night, the first thought was to have a cigarette, and yes I could of used this as my excuse to light up again, (people would of understood, and not questioned it)...but I am so glad I didn't give it to the demon in my head. My affirmation has and will always be "my life will not be controlled by something that doesn't even have and IQ" ! Kate, when you are ready, you will quit again, this is just a detour :) All the best to you. Jules.

Dear Kate, While I have'nt hit my quit date yet you brought up one concern of mine and that is "will I be able to handle any hardships that come my way without picking up a cigarette". The loss of a four legged family member and friend is truly heartbrakeing.I know how you feel and my heart goes out to you.I hope you find "your-self" again soon. Wheezy

hi all from Greece...i'm back from vacation and back...to smoking. I had a good free week. And returned home happy and my batteries full..and mom just told me that my "buddy ...was gone". My dog had a heart attack the morning my vacation were over. I know its not an excuse and smoking will not bring him back.. but i was really close to him since he had heart problems.We visited the vet 20 days ago and he was surprised of how well my buddy was doing... then Saturday morning he just slept...forever. I'm destroyed..i can't stop crying.. he was always near to me..and he was always listening to me... don't feel good..my batteries are completely empty,my vacation already forgotten... I will be back with you guys... not yet... but soon!!!!

Kate, My heart goes out to you. Take some time for yourself and we'll be ready to welcome you back when you feel ready. Wheezy, Start thinking of how you can deal with these potential hardships now as oppose to when you're facing them. Some members have an emergency coping kit with a list of distractions, inspirational reading materials, rewards, list of benefits from your quit... it gives them something to run to instead of a cigarette. Some members keep a personal journal to vent their daily frustrations. Others choose to learn relaxation techniques like yoga, meditation or deep breathing. SINTA: Smoking Is Not The Answer Smoking will not solve anything, but you have to find something that will help you get through those hard times. Hope this helps, Danielle __________________________ The SSC Support Team
