Ha! Great story, Windy. It's funny, isn't it, to have our panic be realted to something OTHER than smoking? It's a GOOD thing! I can say that I have definitely had many, many "brain-dead" moments since I quit. Do you suppose it's because I'm actually getting oxygen to the brain again instead of starving it? Hmmmmm!

Remember that feeling when it was getting late, blowing snow and you suddenly realized that you had NO cigarettes!!?? Well.....this week, I relived those moments of terror. I had finished my fruit smoothie and was all ready to settle into bed with my remote control and guess what - NO VOLUME - Their mouths moved and nothing happened!!! I immediately called hubbie...pressed every button on every remote I could find and NOTHING HAPPENED!! I was starting to hyperventilate...couldn't last much longer....then hubby suggested unplugging t.v. and plugging back in....PHEW!!! Volume was working again....I settled back on my pillows, practiced some deep breathing - all was right with the world... Hmmmm...Now what DID I do with that remote control???

I'm right here, Windy! I crawled under the covers with you tonight. I plan to watch a movie later that I have tried several times to see, but always fell asleep. I will tell you something. The last two days I have had thoughts of smoking. They were never really threatening, but I think the cold weather and being closed up contributed to the 'stinkin' thinkin''. I made salmon patties, baked beans and coleslaw for dinner. Plenty of leftovers....you want some?

Windy, Of phew! What would you have done if it hadn't worked? You may want want to start thinking about an emergency coping plan for the future. Danielle _____________________ The SSC Support Team
