Hat's Off To Tam's Commitment

Good for you, Tam!! You made the right choice! And yes, one day you will be able to take in these kinds of events, but you need to get adjusted to thinking and responding differently first, and that's going to take some time.

Wow, Thank you Penitent :) Thanks to everyone here last night and my husband, I am feeling a lot better. The DQ ice cream cake helped as well. lol I know not going last night was the best decision and I trust what everyone is saying that one day I will be able to enjoy an evening out. Again, Thank you to Lainey, Unhooked, Sparky, Sue and Rob who helped me out last night!!!

It may be tough missing out on your evening, but your wisdom will reap great rewards in the days/weeks/months to come. Good for you :) Rachel Three years, six months, two weeks, three days, 23 hours, 1 minute and 54 seconds. 25899 cigarettes not smoked, saving �5,827.13.

Clever Penitent for knowing what a 'stagette' was! I wondered for a moment.

tam It does sound as if you are very dissapointed at not being able to be with your friends. However, I would say that you made a great choice. I could not go out in that way for nearly 6 months after I quit for the very same reasons that you give. I also could not have any alchohol for nearly 8 months. I just did not trust myself. If is any consolation I think you made the absolute right choice by not going. You will know when you are strong enough. nonic [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]12/25/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 264 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 7,920 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $2,772.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 48 [B]Hrs:[/B] 5 [B]Mins:[/B] 14 [B]Seconds:[/B] 7
