Family Tension Bringing Urge ON!!


18 years ago 0 45 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Thanks for all your good words. I think I may just distance herself now. I am going through enough with quitting so I think when I am more stable I can deal with her. I can't believe I smoked 96 cigarettes in 6 days time in the past. You never think you smoked that much till you see how it is adding up. Today will be my bid day. Our business is mainly open on Monday and thats when all the customers come along with there smokes. I am going to ask my husband to help me remember to not give in. I am feeling good. 1 Week Tomorrow.

Your right, Luckily when the urges come on, I would have to drive a few miles to get the smokes. Gives me more time. I don't want to mess up 5 days either. Just wish I had a Mother instead of another child to deal with. It is so awful. She has put me through the most stressful times of my life. She has me blackmailed because if I don't abide by her she will keep by 15 year old brother from me as well. But I guess he is growing up and soon she won't have him for her pawn anymore. This has been going on since my Dad died 5years ago. They were divorced and she treated him the way I now am treated, it got passed to me. I am 30 years old and still being scolded and told what to do with my life , who I should associate with,how I should raise my children. She will do everything in her power to destroy me in order to gain for herself. She has a curse of Jealousy. Anyone is you pray out there. Please pray for her. she is filled with so much evil.

My mother took some items from my home to donate to the church. She instead listed them on ebay for her own benefit after I told her she couldn't take them if she was going to sell them. I immedietly bought the item buyitnow because I had similiar items on ebay and she was selling it for 5X cheaper than I was so she was also undercutting me. My own mother. so anyway she says I can just pay her the 3.00 for the ebay fees and aggravation. I have to pay her. So I take care of that, and my mother is on some wild rage this week and files a No paying bidder strike against me. My own mother. Boy do I want a cigarette. She is so cold to me and I keep doing for her and she stabs me in the back. I told her to get out of my life for good. I am so sick of her. This is my Hardest Test. I want to smoke really bad.

Just think of it if you smoke, she got you a second time. It's only hurting you, not her. Hang in there!

Hang tough. Don't give your mother the additional power to be influential in having you kill your own self with cigarettes. Take back the power and stand up for yourself. now.

Time, You've gotten some great advice from your fellow quitters. It may be wise to distance yourself for the time being. Smoking really isn't the answer. You can overcome this obstacle! Danielle ____________________ The SSC Support Team

Now you know good and well that smoking a cigarette will not turn your mother into the Good Witch of the East. All you can do is change YOU. So do that. Don't fall into the trap of pity-me. Step out of it and take charge of your own life. You're the only one who can. And I'm quite sure you don't want to throw away those five days of hard work, do you? You can do this! Be the power!

Time, sounds like it's time to take control of your life. They say that no one can have power over you unless you let them. You're 30 --- a grown-up now making good decisions for yourself like quitting smoking. Perhaps this will lead to other good decisions too. I found that my quit led me to lots of other lifestyle changes. Perhaps some talking therapy will help, also. Good luck!

tell ya what.....I am going to pray for your mother....and this doesn't mean I don't feel for what you are going through.....but your mother is the one with the problem...right??? sounds like she had a bitter divorce and she never quite put the feelings to rest...now your dad is gone....well she has to vent this frustation and loneliness in some direction? Honestly, people in this position are really in need of prayer, understanding and "counseling" if you could get her there? Don't fall into her trap by continuing fighting with her....it's somewhat like an unruly toddler trick??? to her, attention is attention, whether it's because she is good...or because she is bad???? Find ONE thing that you mom has done or said in the past (no matter how far back) and bring it up and praise her for it....REFUSE to be baited into the squabbling.....it takes two people to have a conflict....don't let yourself be one of them Katy [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/4/2002 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 1836 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 73,460 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $10465.2 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 242 [B]Hrs:[/B] 4 [B]Mins:[/B] 50 [B]Seconds:[/B] 15
