Kicked to the ground

18 years ago 0 +0 / -0 340

Hi Guys Thanks for all your posts - I'm fine, really. I just had an inital shock as I was pretty certain I was going to get this house and the disappointment hit me hard. Also my husband was away at work and I couldn't contact him so I'd no-one to share the disappointment with. So I turned to my surrogate family - you guys and thank you for being there. The house was not meant to be and neither was I ever meant to smoke. So the house passes on from me and I continue with my quit. I just love what penitent said about many houses and just 2 lungs. Soo true - I was actually in tears when I opened that post and it made me smile. Thank you Phil, Penitent, Fini and Jan for helping me with the wobble. The tears are dried and I'm really not up for the ice cold water treatment either Fini so that just leaves me to stay quit. Onward and upward Sharon [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 10/14/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 25 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 253 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �67.25 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 2 [B]Hrs:[/B] 3 [B]Mins:[/B] 5 [B]Seconds:[/B] 40

Hi guys I just got some bad news - the house that I had my heart set on to buy and had the highest bid on has gone to a cash seller. I am absolutely gutted. If I don't smoke today it will be a miracle. Yours with big fat tears Sharon [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 10/14/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 25 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 252 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �67.25 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 2 [B]Hrs:[/B] 2 [B]Mins:[/B] 55 [B]Seconds:[/B] 49

Sniff - thanks Phil. I'll be okay - it obviously wasn't meant to be but I'm deeply disappointed. I really want a cigarette but it's times like this I know I have to be strong.

Sharon, I have experience of this, believe me! There are many, many more houses out there but you only have two lungs!! Dust yourself off, put the house issue into its true perspective and push on with your remarkable 25-day quit! Good Luck Penitent d904

Sharon, Perhaps there is another dream home waiting for you! Don't let this get you and cause you cave! 25 days is awesome, so give yourself some time and continue the dream :) Keep Strong, Josie _____________________ The SSC Support Team.
