Hang in there Cuddles. One step at a time. Hope you got my mail. You are courageous and you are doing great! Be the strong woman that you are. You are beating this addiction and you will continue to do so.

Stressful situations are hard to learn to deal with without the crutch of the cigarette. You have already developed the skills you need to make it through these times. Lean on what you have learned along your journey. You are still a strong quitter and you are still in Control of the choices you make. I am so proud of you. I know that you won't smoke. You may have days when you want to but you have come too far and been through too much to ever go back. Take those deep breaths and keep marching forward my friend. Freedom awaits you. One step at a time. One day at a time.

Hi Cuddles. Nice to see you again. Family crises are hard enough to deal with without having them happen while we are quitting smoking. How inconvenient of them! I so remember having to deal with my alzheimers Mom placement at the same time I was quitting. UGH! I am sending you thoughts of support and healing and strength. You are doing exactly what you should be doing - coming here and letting folks know what is going on, while at the same time, refusing to give in to smoking. You are way too smart to think that smoking will help. Infact, it would only create another psychological burden to carry. So...keep your chin up...high with pride, your heart open to support and love, and your mind sharp as you deal with the realities of this crisis. Best wishes.
