Dear Rhonda,
First of all, I would like to say, "Thank You," for your son fighting for our freedom! Being a mother no matter what circumstances are we will always worry. With your situation more so in the worry department. Our prayers and good thoughts are with you. I will pray that your son comes home soon and have many years with love and happy memories to come...
Regarding you smoking, Rhonda, please don't. I am quitting this Thursday have relapsed and I am giving it another try and pray that I suceed. Recovering from arson and had many problems so I went back to the demon nic and am so sorry that I did! Guess what, it solved none of my problems and possilby has damaged my throat because it hurts so bad. If this helps let me please share with you. It's mind over matter. When I relapsed I got so sick when I started to smoke again. The physcial addiction left but the emontial is still and always will be with me. Our minds are very strong and we can accomplish any thing if we really want it. Again, I hope this helps you..
So kick that demon to the curb. What I have learned is that I must think differently when a major problem comes my way. Again, smoking did not solve the problems I had to deal with and lost my quit making me feel terrible. When I didn't smoke I was so proud of myself and felt so good.
You have 2 weeks under your belt. You've proved to yourself that you can and are doing it. Keep up the wonderful job.
Keep in touch and let us know how you are doing.
