Riverdale Man, Maybe you just need a nap, some of your favorite food, a funny movie (and do I mean FUNNY!) Do something that makes you say "Yep, life is good". I just got back from Fannie May Chocolate store to get some Raspberry buttercreams cuz I felt like rewarding myself today after walking my dog for a 1/2 mile. You hang in there and those blues will go away. Also an uplifting book is a great choice for times like these. Keep up the Excellent job, sending you sunshine from Indiana. We look up to you as an "upperclassman!" It's not all kittens and puppies, but sometimes IT IS!!!!! ;) Hangin In Not Givin In, CobenFan (Christine M).

R-D Man! It's okay to feel down sometimes, it's okay as long as you don't smoke. I feel pretty much the same, but we both know that this will past. Think about the good days you have had with this quit. Think about how happy and proud you have been. I know that you don't want to lose the quit. You know what - one of my co-workers just came into the office we share and I can tell that he just had a cigarette. The whole office smells of his cigarette and you know what? It smells awful! We don't want to go down that path again, right?

R-D Man - Do you swim today?? Maybe that will help.I am always envious of your swim time. I used to be on a Master's team but now I probably couldn't swim a lap! LOL! Your encouragment and support for everyone on this site is tremendous! We all can't be excited and fun all the time (but wouldn't that be nice??) - we have to have a little down time. Take care and take some "me" time today.

Man I feel down today. I have had altered taste sensations in my mouth all day. That metallic acidy taste just stays there. Feel tired and down. Have even thought of smoking and the thought simply sends me back into the cave. Not certain of what I will do for work tonigt and I have to be there and I hope I am not a B@#$h, oh well. I don't feel excited about much and if I do the excitement wains in minutes. I was all high about my garden and what was coming up. And that just seems flat today. It is bright and suny nd warm today and that also seems just flat. I never know if I should post this stuff and my thought is do it all radically different and see what happens. So here I am I am quiet and I think I will just put my hands up over my head, wave the white flag and surrender to the blaghs. (all te while chanting this too shall pass, this too shal pass, this too shall pass,[and crying now please, now please] this too shall pass, this too shall pass) AND there is a part of me that wants that excitment and fun loving part of me back and back pronto. Sorry to feel so down and that is for me what is in this moment.

Sunflower Thanks We certainly don't want to go down that path and I personally would bring something that is really stinky in with me to work and leave it under his desk, something like a big bottle of that nasty stuff they squirt on you in the department stores in the winter. HMMMMM I said yesterday or the day before that walking into that cloud of second hand smoke looked like it should be good and oh man it was not. There have been some really wonderful times on this little journey and it is important to remember them.

Thanks Redrosie and Lady. I do feel more myself today. The rewards are very important and the acknowledgement that I feel in whatever I give to myself. Thanks Phillip :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/17/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 53 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,067 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $397.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 8 [B]Hrs:[/B] 16 [B]Mins:[/B] 44 [B]Seconds:[/B] 47
