It'll pop up sometime when you least expect it. I really do hope you feel better soon - I didn't meen for that post to sound unsympathetic, like.. "Oh go and find the good in life right now while you hurt so bad!" *Hugs* [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]7/17/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 549 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 41,175 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $10,293.75 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 48 [B]Hrs:[/B] 23 [B]Mins:[/B] 12 [B]Seconds:[/B] 4

I completely agree with Brenna! You can also turn painful moments into joyfull ones. You know, they're always changing places with one another. Possitive, negative. Joy, grief. Great and pain. If you pay attention, you'll find that soemthing good nearly always comes out of the things we percieve as bad! Hope you feel better soon!

Whatever it is, you take care. I hope it's nothing serious. Lots of sinus stuff going around my corner of the world right now.

Not sure, Moss. Don't know if it's another tooth thing, or a sinus infection.

Alohakeia, No pain, no gain! Life is full of a lot of painful experiences but with them come a lot of really happy, joyous ones too. Smoking was an old coping mechanism. Turn painful moments into learning moments, create new coping mechanisms and learn something new about yourself. Cigarettes won't help! Stay strong! Brenna, Bilingual Health Educator

No matter what kind of pain one is feeling, smoking will not, i repeat NOT, make it stop. Stupid, stupid, i repeat STUPID cigarettes, are just that....STUPID!!! Capital S, Capital Exclamation Points!!! So many times i ran to a cigarette when I hurt - physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. It never solved it. Nor will it now. Period. End of story. Damn, my mouth hurts. Am figuring out other ways of dealing with it. Period. End of story. :8|: [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/22/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 300 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 12,000 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $2,040.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 42 [B]Hrs:[/B] 7 [B]Mins:[/B] 41 [B]Seconds:[/B] 17
