Thank you all for your support and encouragement! Nonic, I've printed your poem (absolutely love it and can totally relate to it!) and will carry it with me along with Stickin's ideas! MK,BFS,Mercy, Lady, Lamplighter and everyone here, your kind words and support mean the world to me right now! I think I'm probably harder on myself than anyone else could be and that makes your kindness all the sweeter.

Nonic, What a beautiful piece. I truly enjoyed it, and it sums up the experience very well, at least for those who love poetry. Thanks for sharing!

Chicknoodle Here is something for you to hang under one of those god awful refrigerator door magnets...Its a bit I wrote during my first few days of the quit...Its a good piece to have around especially when the page starts to get all yellow with age, because thats when you know your doing well... nonic I Set My Mind Against the Tide I set my mind against the tide, as a sailor sets a sail straight into a westward wind, that soon became a gale. The harbor lights were far behind, when the sky bled blue to gray. The chop was fine and coming fast and my boat began to sway. Broadside and true she took each wave and fell to meet the next. The troughs were deep the angles steep my thoughts were dark and vexed. And in that hour the taunting came, from deep within the storm. Derision scorn and vile blame, took endless ghostly form. Loathing lingered on the deck as doubt engulfed the mast. And from the east, a tiny speck flew toward me from the past. Larger loomed this bird of prey in silence loud and clear. With stealth and guile it ruled the day for this was cold dark fear. Fear stretched out a deadly claw and danced with doubt and scorn around the sail I�d bravely set they mocked the oath I�d sworn. The bitter wind grew stronger still as hopelessness appeared and played a mournful melody for doubt and scorn and fear. �Come join the dance� the storm intoned I know you know the steps. �I�ll bring you peace� the wind exclaimed �with one more cigarette.� But just between the flash and fade the lightning wind and storm were all inventions I had made while I was busy being born. For I have lost a lover who would kill me where I stand but found a better friend in me cause I know who I am. I set my mind against the tide... I set my mind against the tide... I set my mind against the tide...

Chicknoodle Yep this is one strong addiction, and you really should not feel badly. Instead you should be commended for your honesty to yourself...I have always like that about you, I can tell from your posts that you are a very thoughtful and truthful person. Those are rare qualities in this world...and should be noted and cherished...I can see there is nothing I can tell you about this trip that you don't already know...I am so glad that you have chosen to jump back in and move "further up and further in" (you have to love CS Lewis). We will all be right here when ever you feel the need... nonic [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]12/25/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 185 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 5,550 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1,295.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 33 [B]Hrs:[/B] 20 [B]Mins:[/B] 49 [B]Seconds:[/B] 8

Chickennoodle... You are not the first nor the last to blow a long term quit. That eight months of success proved to you that you can quit. The one cigarette that put you back on the roller coaster has hopefully taught you that NOPE really does mean Not One Puff Ever. We are all only one puff away from being full fledged addicts again. If I ever pick on up, I don't think I would have the courage to quit again. Get back on the wagon and let the addiction go once and for all. Glad to see you getting it together. Don't ever quit quitting!

Debbie, I know how hard it is to come here and admit your mistakes, but I commend you for doing that and getting back to the quit so gracefully and dilligently. I have been where you are... and one day, you will be where I am. I truly believe that. You have the heart and desire to quit for good. You will! Crave the Quit!
