Sparky, I hope you find the way. The bright side is that in the last couple of years you have been a non smoker for most of the time and probably only smoked a couple of weeks total. You know you can make it. Whatever it is that keeps pulling you back, you will have to face and push it out of your way.

Everyone's right, Sparky. It really is OK to be here. In fact, this where you should be while you prepare yourself. I think it gives you incentive for when you are ready. No one is here to judge, because we've all been in the same boat at one time or another.

You are a good person, good friend, and in fact, I'd miss you if you weren't here. What you are experiencing right now is just a part of the quitting journey. Take all the time you need to get ready. And most of all...be good to yourself, you deserve it!!!!!

Cheers,

Jan

Hey Sparky,

The program is a definite plus when you apply it here. I would not or could not completely give myself to that simple program until I was truly ready and honest with myself.. I was not an instant success there but the one thing I did right was to keep coming back (no matter what happened). Eventually the program got me and the good lord willing I will be celebrating 33 years continuous on the 21st. As you know the faces change there and there are not many who make it to full recovery. I say if you can do that you can do this. It helps me to apply the 12 steps to my smoking problem The fellowship here is very similar to the support we feel at meetings. I know you "pack the gear" to do this and -you will.

You guys are the best of the best!!! I read your responses and want to jump back so bad, but I know I can not. I am not mentally ready. I pulled out Allen Carr's book this morning and will reread it again. I understand why some may give up on me and that is okay, I have the cream of crop pulling for me and for that I am soooooooooooooooo grateful. I understand what you mean when you say to keep posting. In AA the only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking and I guess that is how SSC works to. I have the desire, but the addiction has me by the throat for now. I quit drinking over 32 years ago and I understand "one day at a time" Let go let God and the little sayings we have. It is the insanity of this addiction that I need to break through. It is trying the same thing over and over expecting different results. Yeah right it is alway the same result. Need to get a visual going here. It is like being hit with a baseball bat over and over until one day a light comes on and your realize it hurts and you stop getting hit because it feels so much better. Anyway thanks for all the word of encouragement.

Keep the Quit

I have to agree with everyone......specially MissM

You NEED to be here.........checking in and commenting while you work toward your new Quit day. When that is right now is anyone's guess but the point is there WILL be one. Should you be too ashamed to be here??......

Should NOT be ashamed at all. You seem to have forgotten just how hard kicking this addiction is.

Every one of us.......Older Quitters, Mid-Older Quitters and New Quitters know exactly what you felt and how you fought it for over 100 days that last time!!! Remarkable.

You made your longest Quit ever, you should be VERY proud of that. You helped many get through their Hell Weeks and tough times by being able to tell them honestly how it feels to start again. You gave your body it's longest break from nicotine...and you felt it.

There are just too many Good reasons for you to be here.

besides .......we like you!

Sparky,

I have been reading materials by Brian Tracy during my insomnia this evening. You came to mind:

The Two Parts of Courage

There are two parts of courage. The first is the courage to launch, to begin, to step out in faith with no guarantee of success. This is an essential part of courage that you can develop with practice. The second is the courage to endure, to persist in the face of disappointment and temporary failure.

Your job...is to develop the courage to do whatever is necessary to fight the fire, solve the problem, and get through the crunch. This is the hallmark and the test of true leadership.

Take the time you need to lick your wounds, regain your focus, redefine your goals. Then get back on the bike, horse, or wagon. little kitty. and continue on your journey.

Confusious say: "Many hands make light work." Let the hands of SSC help you get over the hump.

Be thankful for your past quit time. Be thankful for today.

Never quit quitting!!!!!

Dave

No need to apologize, Deb. I'm alone most days, too. My relatives worry about me. I've always been alone, though, and break most of my isolation through attending 12 Step meetings. Since I've developed a relationship with God I'm less lonely, also. It must be different to have had children, and then have them transition into young adults and have them move out.
