Thank you all! You're all so sweet to write such nice compliments to me! I just try to put myself in your shoes and think back about how I felt at the same point you are. It's a miserable, frustrating place to be for most of you, but you'll get beyond that before long. Then you'll be soooo... happy that you stuck it out! Sandi, thanks for posting this poem about encouragement. It is so true! Hope you don't mind that I saved it. You're so right about people who use a crutch to quit. Then they have to get off that. My accountant, who I saw yesterday, said he has some friends who have been on the patch for over a year and just can't get off of it. I have a friend who has been on the gum for a couple years, so you see, it's really hard for twice in your life....once to get off cigarettes and again to get off the crutch. We're doing it right, believe me! You all have a wonderful, smoke free day!
