closing in on 180 and needing to gripe!!

15 years ago 0 +0 / -0 363

Thanks to all for all your encouragement. Rock, does that mean virtual house warming gifts too?

Marivi, I'm trying to get a pic of Brutus on here but the file is too big, its only a pic off my cell phone, all my cameras are packed. But as soon as I get home I'll edit it and get it on here, he is so adorable, but at the same time rotton. I'll keep on pushing through this Brenda, thats all we can do, right? Thanks Sue, I'm going to need all the strength I can get this week, between closing on the home, packing everything, and moving it, its going to be an exhausting week. Its a good thing I took next week off to recover and get settled into my new house. I guess it could be called a mini vacation filled with work?? I'll probably have to come back to work to get rested up!! LOL

Adorable pup PB!! I am glad you came to vent, great idea, and that you feel better. Exactly the right thing to do, delay, distract, etc...

Congrats on all the positive changes you are making in your life, I know they will all work out exactly the way they are supposed to.

Sending continued strength your way PB

Wow PB! You have alot going on in your life right now! But this is a good thing! You are moving into a new home, you have a new puppy, your girlfriend is working again, its all GOOD NEWS!!!!! And with all that is going on, there is no time for a smoke break! So thats a good thing! And just imagine how wonderful your new home is going to smell smoke free. And how much healthier your new puppy will be without second hand smoke! And the extra income (and sanity!) from your gf going back to work after a year. So all is GOOD! I'm thinking the change of scenery with the new house is a good thing too! You can start new habits there, with smoking not being one of them! Keep taking it one day at a time! Let us know when you are all moved in. We'll have a virtual house warming party for you!

Hello PB!

Woe almost half a year. That is great news. Just remember hell and heck week and the cravings will go away. dEEP BREATHING IS GREAT FOR STRESS TOO. And you can breathe deeper now,after 6 months smoke free. A lot of things happening in your life but great things too. Your girlfriend has a job now, you are moving to a new house and you got the beautiful baby bulldog. Do you have a pic??

Hang on buddy, I know you will do it. Just take deep breaths and ave some ice water on hand!

hUGS

Ok, this is going to be me just getting things off of my chest. I have been craving hard for 3 or 4 days now. I am closing on my house Monday, big stressor! I am trying to get all the utilities and stuff squared away, stressor! I am packing, and when I say I, I mean I, no help from anyone else in the home. Big stressor! Plus, we added a new family member 3 days ago, I'll be getting his picture up here as soon as I can, his name is Brutus, and yes, he is an English Bulldog, 7 weeks old, and just adorable, and rotton. Huge stressor!! Looking back in hind site, maybe I should have waited on the pup, but everything happens for a reason, and I suppose what I get through without smoking will make me even stronger tomorrow. I just wish I had some help. My girlfriend started work last week after being laid off for a year, a good thing in the overall scheme of things, but now she is working 7 days a week, so she can't help me with the move. My son, well there is no way he can help with his condition, so here I am, on my own again. I guess I just need to quit the whining and try and see the good in everything that is taking place, because there is a lot of good going on in my life right now too. I feel better already, I love this place.
