Sweetheart - you are never alone. This is a wonderful community of caring people and you've done really great by reaching out to us.  I'm sending up prayers for you as I type this and I know that others will follow.  Hopefully jonescarp has tossed you a lifeline to use as well.

Breathe and find something to do that takes your mind off your troubles. If there is something you can do about them then go for it, otherwise let it go give it up as they say and keep the faith.

WE ARE HERE so blog again if need be.  ((hugs))

[JonesCarpeDiem]

Dear One,

As so many before me have said, smoking never solves anything. It never takes away our problems or our fears. It never makes anything any better.

Please hang in there. And know that many of us here are praying for you.....

Oh, don't alone!  You're not.  I know virtual friends can feel abstract at times but caring is caring and the people here do care.  There are some terribly times for me too right now.  The thing is is that no matter what thing is going wrong, THIS is going right.  You (and I) will be able to look back at this time and say: "Yeah, that was a rough time, BUT, I DID stop smoking then!"  So much can't be controlled but this life saving measure can be.  I am finding all kinds of stuff about me along the way.  Did you get a chance to read Peggy's blog earlier today?  Read it, so good, so true.  Hang in there, we're all together, and there IS strength in numbers!

Just remember that smoking will not change one little thing except make you feel worse. That voice you are hearing telling you that you need to smoke is just the power of the addiction. It is powerful but You are stronger! You know smoking will only add to your misery. I remember feeling alone when I first quit and that's when I finally figured out what people had been telling me...You have to quit for yourself, not anyone else. In the end it is just you and you could easily smoke and noone would be the wiser...except you. You'd only be letting down yourself, it would not help your situation. You are doing this for you! Re-read your list of reasons you want to quit and really focus on that. Start kicking BUTT and write down all the positives of being a non smoker. Good luck, you can do it. After almost 30 yrs of smoking, I did it and you can to!

NOPE...not one puff ever

One puff is never enough anyway.

please hang in there. Stay strong, you are not alone

[kat72]

Hang in there girlfriend, you are not alone. We are all here for you...just a click away. Stay strong!! You can do this!

[Lonita]

Hang in there when you quit smoking everything is totally wack. You are not alone! When you realize nothing is worth smoking you are ready to kick butts! Just don't give up please.

You are not smoking.  That should be one really bright place in your head.  Actually not smoking is at times the one and only great thing we have to hang onto.  Which is very ironic, as at the same time it seems to be part of the dark place.  But it's only the cravings that are part of the dark.  The freedom is full of light.  Keep aiming for that light.  Faith untested is just a wish.
