All last week I dealt with some severe financial matters which, luckily came out OK. Then Thursday night I had an unpleasant run-in with the law. I have been really stressed out ever since then dreading the Tuesday morning confrontation with my boss. I have been extremely nervous but haven't even thought about smoking. My wife still smokes in the garage but I am not tempted. Maybe my quit is permanent???

Rambler... :confuse:
What is this..."maybe my quit is permanent?"
Are you nuts? :gasp:
You've gotten down...41 days
Do you realize I dreamed about the day that I could say...
(sigh) "I have not smoked for 41 days"
I am absolutely basking in happiness...now...because I can say that!
I'm proud of you Rambler...and one thing about the confrontation...
Your going to deal with this squarely with your head on straight and not under the influence of nicotine...CHIN UP AND CARRY ON
(listen to your Aunt Deb...LOL)

Rambler,
Obviously you've developped some great coping mechanisms along the way. You've dealt with some pretty big stressors. Reward yourself for staying smoke free!
