micro 0 #1 August 1, 2006 Was a very kind word from Weegegirl about me... and I'd like to take this moment to say thank you to her. I hope you're still doing well and are smoke free! If you're not, just pick yourself up and try again. It's about progress, not perfection. Thanks girl! I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weegegirl 2 #5 August 1, 2006 You are a sweetheart micro. I have had a few really tough obstacles lately in life, which I have conquored and all is good. But I definitely officially relapsed like crazy. I have not quit quitting. And I am gearing up to take another stab at it. So don't give up on me just yet. You can't give up on me till I give up on me.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites swedishcelt 0 #9 August 1, 2006 Don't feel bad Liz. My sister quit after several tries and when I asked her how she did it she said, "I gave myself permission to fail and I gave myself permission to try again." Coping without smoking is a skill, it's going to take some time to learn. We know you have some awesome reasons to try.

You'll make it.Inspiring story alert: My mom smoked heavily from age 16 to 62. I can't tell you how many times she tried to quit. At 55 she came as close to death as can be due to a blocked carotid artery. Even after that episode she went back to smoking after 8 months. Her entire family was on her back to quit. This was counter-productive. The more we nagged her, the more she smoked. Then it happened. She secretly quit 8 1/2 years ago! She had to quit on her own terms. She's now 70 and her health is fantastic. Keep the faith Liz. You'll do it. I'll be saying some prayers for you.Chris _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites weegegirl 2 #13 August 1, 2006 Awe, you guys are all so sweet. I so don't deserve this much support. Now I need to try even harder. The cold turkey thing just totally sucked. I made it a long time too, but I was NOT fun to be around. At least I gave my friends ample warning before I did it. I'll get there.
