I need some backup here

Thanks to all my quit buddies for all you support. I had many sick and vacation days left for the year so I took 2 days off from work. When I lost my other dog Kita in Dec I think I just hid in a cloud of smoke this time I came here and asked for help. Mr Ed you can come be my pet anytime you want. I will get Lainey and Unhooked over here to help with the scooping. Meet me at FB and I will buy a round. :p [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/21/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 234 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 7,020 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $2,281.50 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 33 [B]Hrs:[/B] 0 [B]Mins:[/B] 33 [B]Seconds:[/B] 22

LOL, I am imagining, Mr. Ed as a house pet......there goes the sofa! That's priceless! Could you imagine the size of "horsey dish" you'd need! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/5/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 249 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 6,225 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $2,626.95 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 30 [B]Hrs:[/B] 11 [B]Mins:[/B] 7 [B]Seconds:[/B] 34

Kita, You could adopt me! Seriously though, I know how this feels. I have not suffered this during my quit, but I have suffered a bad experience where for a period of time I was tempted to smoke. So pleased that I didn't because it wouldn't have helped me in the slightest! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]2/13/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 634 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 19,020 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �4,755.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 101 [B]Hrs:[/B] 22 [B]Mins:[/B] 7 [B]Seconds:[/B] 37

So very sorry Kita. Snoopy relished the idea of a smoke free Kita and would want you to remain so. If not for anything or anyone else, keep it for her. I know it is too soon to consider, however I bring this up now because I may not have another chance. Think about adopting a new friend within a couple of weeks to a month. There are lots of sweet, needing pets out there that are waiting to be snapped up by someone special.

I;ll say what everyone else is saying. Sorry for your loss. You already know that smoking won't make things better but I understand it is a big trigger. Just keep in mind that you did the right thing for your dog. Keep strong and remember you have strong backup here if you need it.

Sorry, Kita. That just sucks. I know you won't smoke. But, I have to say I know what you're saying...I think. Sorrow, or maybe is mourning, leaves a big empty feeling. It's the hardest trigger for me. Almost nothing else makes me want a cigarette but it's the first thing I think of when I feel sad. Hope you are feeling better soon! xx [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]8/25/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 75 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,250 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $438.75 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 6 [B]Hrs:[/B] 17 [B]Mins:[/B] 59 [B]Seconds:[/B] 58

Kita, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I'm sure Snoopy and the good times will be missed. A memorial sounds like a good idea. Also, a friend to listen, ssc or otherwise. And of course you know that smoking will not make you miss Snoopy any less. If you get the urge to smoke, maybe you could write something to or about Snoopy instead? Learning how to feel sad without running to hide is all part of this journey, friend. Take our hands, we'll be right there beside and behind you. Well, kind of hard to take our hands if we're behind you, but you know what I mean :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/22/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 231 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 9,240 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1,570.80 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 32 [B]Hrs:[/B] 6 [B]Mins:[/B] 28 [B]Seconds:[/B] 12
