Dunedad, Keep the faith. Remember you are doing it for yourself. Also keep in mind that you do want to be around for the grandkids. I am a firm believer that whatever H-ll your kids put you through, they get payed back in two fold. Don't you want to be around to see that:) Julie [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/15/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 19 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 395 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $66.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 1 [B]Hrs:[/B] 21 [B]Mins:[/B] 3 [B]Seconds:[/B] 16

I have a pain in the ass daughter who I went out to dinner with last night. We were with 4 families and she decided to tell everyone that she was embarrased of me when she was in 6th grade and wished I didn't go with her to the Daddy Daughter dance. Why do you think she waited until she was 13, me in the middle of my quit, after I had a couple of drinks, at dinner (where I normally would have burned one for sure)... Just because all the button are being pushed. Just becasue this sucks. Just becuase you F---ing feel like it and your a grown man just like eveyone else....who the 'f' is going to tell you not to kill yourself with cancer and not see you kids grow up. Not be a grandpa, not retire...I go on nice trips, have some good bucks, smoked when my kids pissed me off. But for the last three weeks I have said "These ciggies don't own me. I own me. I may feel crappy because of this, I might even jump down someones neck, but I won't smoke". I feel great, better than I have in years. My kids are still a pain in the ass sometimes, but I FEEL GREAT. Don't go down to the store...go for a quick walk. Stand outside and breath in that clean crisp air. Keep the faith.

Nice Job Dude, I'm hanging in as well. Not really that big a deal right now, no cravings to speak of and I've gone out and gotten sh*t faced a couple of times with no real hardship. I had a sit down with my 13 year old and told her she was making it harder for me and asked her for her help. It worked for a couple of days...not bad. My 10 year old is Mr. Support. He doesn't want me to smoke ever again and for him...today I WON'T SMOKE ONE! Got some work! Later Dude...

Sorry to only just now see your post, I had family issues myself over the weekend - you have got to love 'em or else. . . just love 'em. I know at times I have felt frenzied in a crave. Sometimes just looking in the mirror helps scare me straight b/c it is not a pretty sight. I am concerned that I don't see your response to this thread. Whatever the case, we want to be here for you. You have been there for so many of us. I am concerned about your well-being. This isn't about smoking or not. There is not a crisis here to make a decision like that. Nothing of the sort. This is about Dunedad, the confident non-smoker, learning how to tackle life. You already tackled smoking - successfully. This is a case of Ol' Nic's war tactics. He is very good. He knows exactly when to jump you after he has been creeping into your sub conscience for a while. He's a parasite who uses you to make him live. He whispers in your ear the second he sees any hint of stress in your life. Right now he is gleeful. But I think he may not realize the resolve you possess - DO YOU???

p.s. is it significant that your meter is not posted? [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 12/29/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 38 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 386 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $190 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 3 [B]Hrs:[/B] 15 [B]Mins:[/B] 57 [B]Seconds:[/B] 0
