Nothing, Nobody, No situation, No cray, Not even my inner addict is going to overpower me and bring a cigarette to my lips ever again. Those days are OVER. I Don't Smoke. Clothe yourselves in the armor of NOPE and celebrate your Freedom. When family gets too much, go outside and breathe your beautiful clean breaths.

Well, he won't get far, @Boo, what with you and Sugar Britches in Papa and Mama BEAR mode.

I offer these videos from our friend, Joel, that may help us all further understand our addiction. There Is No Legitimate Reason To Relapse I know too much about smoking to ever be able to relapse I hate smoking so much that there is no way I could ever go back Lucky ones get hooked

YAY YAY YAY ! Our beautiful Jo has TWO Years of Freedom to celebrate. This is so great. Hope this brings you some JOY today. You are an important voice here, Jo. Your advice and suggestions are always right on and the fun you bring is nonpareil. Thanks so much for giving us your heart and time. Love you, bebe, S

I 'liked' this post and would like to explain. Take the 'you' out of it and put in 'The Addict', it reads, 'The crash was incidental/inconsequential to The Addict's relapse. The Addict was already looking for an excuse to smoke...and The Addict found it.' This relates to all of us because we are all The Addict. As I posted in another thread, "When something dramatic/traumatic happens in our life, the addict's conditioned response may well be to grab a cigarette. We must stay SUPER alert during these times, even with a well established quit. Addiction will always seek a way to serve itself, ALWAYS...that is the nature of addiction." This is what I have learned. Ms.V has quit smoking, committed to her quit and thankfully the calamity is over. Please, let us all support her and move on, perhaps learn yet another valuable lesson about addiction.

YAY ! These are fun, Ms V.

I don't have any idea, either. Is the chick inside tied to the chair ? Oh YAY ! I just got it. She IS tied to the chair. Leonard Cohen's, Hallelujah.

Please ! A shard of decorum, @jillar ? Nah. There ain't much decorum involved in birthin' babies.

no apologies needed, Ms V. You are coming down from major adrenalen poisoning. Treat yourself kindly, soothing walks, comforting naps, rejuvenating deep, deep breaths.
