Hey kelly, Glad you're okay. And I knew you wouldn't smoke, too. Do what you have to do to take care of yourself. Let me know if I can help, okay?

Glad to see you back, kelly, we missed you but never doubted your quit for a minute. You're a tough broad & you can get through this. You'll be stronger & more confident for it, too.

Hey guys, I want to thank you all again for posting and for checking in on me. I am doing okay and really appreciate your thoughts. I'm sorry if I worried anyone. :) I think (hope) that my brain just needs time to adjust to the chemical changes which are taking place. I was a pretty heavy smoker compared to most and had smoked since I was 13, so, it would make sense that my body and brain would have a bit of adjusting to do. Go figure! ;) The good news is that I have not been tempted to smoke. Yes, I have had thoughts of smoking but I do not intend on entertaining those thoughts. I honestly believe that, for me, the cravings can only be as strong as I allow them to be...and I don't plan on giving them strength. So, thanks again for thinking of me. I really am fine, just in a bit of a funk (as one of our dearest members would say :) and haven't had much to add here lately. I'm sure that soon enough you all will be wishing I'd just shut up again. ;) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]8/25/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 79 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,370 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $462.15 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 7 [B]Hrs:[/B] 2 [B]Mins:[/B] 45 [B]Seconds:[/B] 28

kelly, i can certainly relate to you. i have been feeling a bit out of sorts, down, blah for a couple weeks now. when i wasn't working, i was sleeping to get through. i am on meds for depression and they might have to be adjusted now that i quit. i'm not sure if its the quit or not but it seemed like it was when i have quit before, there was definitely a pattern. i was an emotional smoker, always running to the cig when the going got tough. this time though i am not going to cave to the emotions. i am starting to feel my feelings, good or bad, without the smokescreen. the last couple days have been getting better, i think i am over the hump and i DIDN"T smoke. hang in there kelly...seeing a dr. should put your mind at ease.

Kelly Alright now, you will now have to suffer through my entire anthology of quitting poetry until you feel better...Seriously, this is another bit out of my journal that might speak to your current situation...Have a read, I hope that in the least it keeps you from feeling alone in this... When I was... When I was hurt it told me everything would be alright as long as I didn't actually feel the pain. And I believed it. And I never learned to grieve. When I got angry it told me everything would be alright as long as I didn't defend myself. And I believed it. And I never learned to communicate. When I was afraid, it told me everything would be alright as long as I never tasted the fear. And I believed it. And I never learned to cope. When I was happy, it convinced me it was my friend as long as I took it to the party. And I believed it. And I never felt total joy. Hang in there, you are stonger and tougher and meaner (when it comes to quitting) than you realize...

Kelly Here is a bit I wrote when I was just 30 days off the weed...Its a good one to put one refrigerator with one of those god awful magnets... set my mind against the tide, as a sailor sets a sail straight into a westward wind, that soon became a gale. The harbor lights were far behind, when the sky bled blue to gray. The chop was fine and coming fast and my boat began to sway. Broadside and true she took each wave and fell to meet the next. The troughs were deep the angles steep my thoughts were dark and vexed. And in that hour the taunting came, from deep within the storm. Derision scorn and vile blame, took endless ghostly form. Loathing lingered on the deck as doubt engulfed the mast. And from the east, a tiny speck flew toward me from the past. Larger loomed this bird of prey in silence loud and clear. With stealth and guile it ruled the day for this was cold dark fear. Fear stretched out a deadly claw and danced with doubt and scorn around the sail I�d bravely set they mocked the oath I�d sworn. The bitter wind grew stronger still as hopelessness appeared and played a mournful melody for doubt and scorn and fear. �Come join the dance� the storm intoned I know you know the steps. �I�ll bring you peace� the wind exclaimed �with one more cigarette.� But just between the flash and fade the lightning wind and storm were all inventions I had made while I was busy being born. For I have lost a lover who would kill me where I stand but found a better friend in me cause I know who I am. I set my mind against the tide as a sailor sets a sail� I set my mind against the tide As a sailor sets a sail�.. I set my mind against the tide as a sailor sets a sail�. You got to keep setting that sail everyday, you never know when I good winds about to come your way... nonic [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]12/25/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 320 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 9,600 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $3,360.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 58 [B]Hrs:[/B] 9 [B]Mins:[/B] 34 [B]Seconds:[/B] 51
