[color=Purple]Oh Bobbi, Let it all go hon. Let those tears flow. Many of us have gone through the same thing where we just don't feel like our 'normal' selves anymore. When you think about it we are not our 'normal' selves anymore -- We are BETTER than 'normal' because we are now non smoker's. With every tear you shed you are purging that horrible nicodemon inside. Your emotions may run amuck every now and then, just allow it to happen. By allowing it to you are cleansing your body and your mind and you are continuing to heal from all those years as a smoker ! We're here for you with all the support and love we can give .. Call on us often and let us know how you are doing today ok ?

Bobbi, You are doing fine, stay strong! Make sure you are working the program provided here at the SSC and dig deep to make these new emotions you are feeling positive. And when negativity and bad vibes come your way, deal with them head on! BUT remember, take baby steps, we can't complete this journey in a day or a year, we've got a lifetime of habits to makeover. Be kind to yourself and stay as positive as you can. We are all here to help!

Hang on, Bobbi. You're doing great & I think boxerfan is right. it seems a lot of people have trouble around the 60 day mark. You're doing this & doing it beautifully. You can keep doing it.

Bobbi, I have tough times occasionally, also. I think it's just a process that you have to go through. Bobbi, you smoked for a long time, so it is going to take a while for your body and mind to adjust to this change. When times get tough Bobbi, do what you're doing now. Come here for support and use those coping strategies that you used early on in your quit. I've read some posts about having tough times at 30, and 60 days, and I'm thinking that is what you are experiencing Bobbi. Just hold on tight Bobbi and don't let go. It will pass and you will feel great about making it past this little bump in the road of your journey to freedom.
