Hi April,

April, so glad to hear things are going better for you today! I bumped a post I wrote back on New Year's Eve saying goodbye to smoking. Writing it helped me with the closure. As Miss Marple said, good riddance to that abusive friend!

So I am new here and recently have been feeling a bit needy and have enjoyed and appreciated all of your kind responses... they really make me get through this and feel at ease. I just wanted to check in and say that I am feeling better- from all of your support and I went to a counselor this morning to talk and I cried, and cried... but it felt good- I never did mourn my cigarettes (those that were with me and there for me when noone else was) it really is like losing a best friend. And the counselor is going to help with my anxiety and hopefully sleep. I am feeling very hopeful and wanted to tell everyone that in times of need come here and get support or from those around you and it really does lighten the load. I am going to try to post more to other's posts as I know that this will help as much as it helps me.

Thank you again!
