Kevin,
Get ahold of yourself, dude!!! This quit is for YOU! Because YOU want to! Because YOU want to be healthy!
Vacations with children are always a lot of work! It's hardly ever fun and carefree once you have children! LOL And whether you smoke or not, kids get sick, kids are a pain in the ass, kids are stubborn at the worst times, kids always feel more "bold" with their buddies, they always wait until the worst possible moment to let you know how they feel, and that doesn't include anything that teenagers dish out! Know what I mean? Of course, we love them with all of our being but they are still children, not unlike we were!! LOL
I remember one time my mothers best friend had come to our house to visit so that her daughters could play with my sister and I. Mom's best friend lived right beside my Aunt Jane. We had a great day playing outside, riding bikes down the cellar, throwing rocks in the pond. Well, when it came time for our day to end Mom's friend said, "We better get going, I'm sure my wash on the line is dry by now." To which I replied (unwittingly, I think), "Aunt Jane said that laundry had been hanging out there all week." OOOOHHHHHH, MYYYYY, Mom gave me a look that could've killed me. I hadn't meant to make anybody feel bad, I just wanted my friend to stay and play.
Breathe deep, center yourself and dig deeper than you've ever gone. This quit is about you, you've done all the work and you are reaping the benefits. Don't let a stressful "vacation" get under your skin. You know its not worth it.
"Is this a rant or a plea for help I just don't know...I don't feel better... want to go to the corner market and buy a pack and say screw it!!!......ok it is a plea for help"
Don't know if my post will help you at all BUT by the time you finish reading it, hell, the store will be closed! ;)
Be strong
Debbie
