Monica, I am sorry to hear about all the illness in your family. I am glad to hear that you understand that your smoking will not make anyone better. I smoked through my father's cancer and my mother's Alzheimer's. It didn't help them a bit.
When we are caring for loved ones, sometimes we need a ME break. Sometimes we need to not feel guilty about going shopping, reading a book, or taking a walk in the park. These can actually clear our heads a little and renew us to go back to the task.
One more thing...two weeks is an awesome milestone. It's also frequently a period when our addiction is in its last gasps. Don't let your addiction grab control. Be proud of what you have accomplished...even though those good feelings might be overrun by the stress you are feeling, you can still make sure that you reward yourself in some small way. No one can take that two weeks away from you.
Rusty :)
