Hi,
Well After friday and the rest of the weekend, i didnt smoke... i did good. My house is so disfunctional i hate even being home. Work is my happy place. Me and my son got into it on friday and it lasted all weekend and instead of my boyfriend either staying out of things or sticking up for me he points out everything i do wrong. (ALL THE TIME FOR EVERYTHING) i just cant take it no more. My oldest daughter adds to the problems but since she keeps getting picked on for everything i have to stick up for her..(which pisses me off) but my youngest daughter is the only 1 talking to me at this point. I also have fibromyagia and stress makes my pain even worst, my lips all broke out in fever sores from the stress...BUT I DIDNT SMOKE.

Hang in there. We all know how hard it is. You be proud of yourself for staying strong and not giving in to the stress and the urges. There are a lot of great poeple on this site and they have your back just like they have mine. Keep up the fight. It's going to feel sooooo good to win this one.

Stress is my toughest trigger, too and I can sure relate to the kids! Hooray for you for haning in there in spite of everything and staying strong! It's not easy but you have all of us rooting for you!

you have 3 or 4 days on me i had my last cig on the 3/15/08 in the afternoon not sure of the time i think at like 3pm but i count the 16 as the 1st whole day with none. Great Job for you too. I know it does get easier but the this stress is not fun. Especially when my boyfriend smokes it didnt bother me at 1st but now it does at times.
Stay Strong and Smoke Free

Stay strong will always have some type of problems its just how we deal with it but poison of cigarettes never solves anything.... maybe the Game Room group can help cheer you up a little today....hope it helps!

Hang in there - you are doing great. Maybe for your "12 week celebration" you should take a day or weekend get away by yourself to find some peace. I know it is tough. Try not to let others dicate how you feel.

[diana11]

Thank you for letting me know that others are dealing with disfunction too. Im sure i add to things but to constantly be told im wrong or "well what did YOU do" when i am wrong i dont admit it cause i'm always on the defense. But thank you for writing me back.
