You and everyone else here knows that I am not the tough love Lady. I don't think I have ever posted what I am about to post to you. I am so disappointed in you that I don't know what to say. We talked for a while last night and came up with several ideas to take your mind off of smoking. I even checked on you right before I went to bed to see how you were doing and you had signed off. I guess maybe this is when you went to buy those things that kill you. You began this journey in January Stu. That was almost six months ago now. When are you going to get determined to beat this addiction? You have to want it more than anything in the world. You know all this. You have read enough posts to write a book about quitting. You are torturing yourself. I don't understand why? I tried to quit and smoked and tried to quit and smoked... never made it more than a few hours except once when I made it 4 days. I planned this quit for a long time. I thought about it, I prayed about it, and I gave it my best shot. Each five minutes was the stepping stone to the next. Eventually I found this site and made some friends here. Everytime I thought about smoking I thought about those here. I didn't want to let myself down and if I smoked I would ruin the relationships I had built here. Hum... suddenly it became even more important to me to quit. Have you cried? Have you screamed? Have you just gone to bed because you couldn't take anymore? Have you broken dishes? Have you cut up a straw and made it into a cigarette? Do you take deep breaths? Did you get a cross word puzzle book? Did you post before you smoked and wait for 15 replies? We cannot quit for you Stu. You have to do the work. It is rewarding but it is work.

Just for the record, we still love you. Just don't quit quitting. You are a member of this quit family and we will be here until you get it right. Now then. Chin up... best foot forward... here we go.

Well Stu, I already yelled at you once on IM so I won't do it again here. Just remember that we are all behind you. Add some more people to your IM lists if you have to... people who can be on during the day, since I'm often gone during the day and I know others are too. We're all here to help you and we all really want to see you succeed... all you need is for YOU to want you to succeed. You deserve this quit! Repeat after me... I am worth this quit... I am worth this quit... I am worth this quit........ when you want to give up, repeat that... I am worth this quit...... Stay strong Stu! I know you can do this! Crave the Quit!
