Thank You - It makes me feel better that you all care

Cuddles, thank you for coming back. Don't give up. Sometimes when I smoked, I would be so depressed, I'd have a cigarette with the thought in my head that I didn't care whether I lived or died. Smoking was my act of "suicide". It was my act of saying to the world I don't care about you, I'm hiding behind this cigarette. This might sound a bit silly, but it works for me, one of the things that keeps me on my quit is the quit money. Taking up the burden of that expense is something I don't want to do. I have other plans and need that money I would have spent on cigarettes. It's part of the plan and part of the goal. Sometimes it's just enough to tip the balance of buying a pack and staying quit.

Cuddles, So happy to see you back on the boards. Tricky thing about those types of medications is that they do take some time to take full effect. Keep being patient and keep working with your MD. Also be sure to keep us posted on how you're doing. Danielle _____________________ The SSC Support Team

Cuddles, Thanks for coming back. You are to be honored for your courage to return (and this is a whole other debate/thread). Do you know that the next time may be the last time? I don't know that this is the last for me but all I have to do is read here about lost loved ones and that's it. Missed you. I truly know when someone has departed from us and I missed you. You were ready to be on the ship bud! You had the best pad. Make it happen :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/16/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 65 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,318 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $182 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 6 [B]Hrs:[/B] 9 [B]Mins:[/B] 52 [B]Seconds:[/B] 11

Cuddles, I'm so happy that the posts gave you a warm and fuzzy feeling. I'm also glad you signed up on the sister site for depression. I think once you get this depression in check you will be one of the great quitters.... Cuddles, I know how badly you want to quit. I've watched you struggle and you keep coming back. Someone that didn't want to quit wouldn't come back. I couldn't tell you how many times I tried to quit. I've used every NRT and lots of other things. Whenever you are ready, we will be here for you. You are in my thoughts and prayers..Wishing you a wonderful weekend. :) Sunshine [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/7/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 439 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 7,478 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1536.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 64 [B]Hrs:[/B] 12 [B]Mins:[/B] 22 [B]Seconds:[/B] 35

Thank you to all who responded to my 100 percent Thread. It really gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling, to know that so many really care and understand. I signed up on the sister site. I am willing to try anything that will help this depression. I am sorry butterfly for breaking my promise to you. I broke my promise to my self and smoked. It really hasnt helped any. I am feeling some what better. Just hoping these meds level out soon. for two days I happy, then 3 days Im not. Its just wearing me out. But I will get through this. I am not smoking alot. I can do with out, until the sadness hits, then I just dont care. But I am not giving up. Will be around to read the threads. And just for the record my trying to quit had nothing to do with the depression. Thanks again Cuddles
