It's appealing to flip concepts and think of the positive of having survived a crave, rather than focus on the struggle of getting through it. I may try this. Glad to see you back.

RiverdaleMan, I also started when I was aged 13 and am about your age now. Isn't that a miricale(sp) in and of itself. Sorry I'm late to wish you the best of luck (strength) and well wishes for your here-to-fore strength. You've offered a lot of support to others to this point and I can see that already it is coming back, ten-fold. keep in touch and use what resources you have available ( that includes us - your greek chorus).

There you go, Phillip! There's a silver lining in every cloud. We learn, I think, from the pain we go through. Makes us stronger in the end. It doesn't seem like it at the time, but that's the natural order of things. I believe we are here on this earth for a reason, and nothing is ever coincidence. I believe in reincarnation and that each life is a lesson unto itself. I think there must a reason why all of us have to battle this addiction. What are we learning from it, besides feeling better physically. I try to remember these things when I'm jumping up and down in frustration. Nearly a year, Phillip!!! Looks good on you, Cheers, Jan [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/13/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 7 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 224 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $63 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 20 [B]Mins:[/B] 9 [B]Seconds:[/B] 44
