Deb, So Sorry about your friend..:(

I am sure the last she would ever want you to is smoke again.

Hang on to your resolve and NOPE,

You will get through this Deb..

(((Deb))). Sorry that you are suffering through a very serious problem right now. Just remember that smoking will not make it any better, regardless of what else happens.

I will not smoke today. I hope and assume that you will not, either.

Hi Deb . My thoughts are with you.

Please remember that no matter what that little voice in your head is telling you, having a smoke

Will Not change or make anything better.

Choose life.

Wishing you Strength and comfort in the days ahead.

Oh - I can feel your sadness all the way over here DebSoFlo. Your news is devastating! If you feel that 'screwing up ' your quit over your friend's health is haunting you, perhaps you can find a way to remember the best times of your lives together? Maybe that can relieve some of your stress response that triggers those craves. Or maybe; take deep breaths, suck on scotch mints, chew cinnamon toothpicks, read Alan Carr, come here and post your thoughts and feelings, write with your left hand (very distracting), call a friend who understands, give yourself a lovely bath and warm tea, be kind to yourself, get your rest when you can, enjoy that puppy :) and just try getting through it all one day at a time. Sending virtual hugs & a big fluffy blanket to curl up in your way. If you can remember H.A.L.T. and N.O.P.E. - that sure helps too.

i didn't smoke today!

i got very upsetting news yesterday. a childhood friend who has been fighting adrenal cancer for 5 years has been diagnosed with a metastasized brain tumor. if lucky she will live another 30 days. when she passes i will be flying to new york... i am really really scared that i am gonna screw this up... and it would be such a dishonor to her if i start smoking again. i am a nervous wreck... it seems that since i quit smoking so much stressful crap has happened... aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrgggghhhhh - so upset right now :(
