Tonight before you go to sleep think of something that makes you smile there is always something no matter how bad your day may have been you will sleep better you will feel better once you wake up and you will face your new day with a positive mind Not all storms come to disrupt your life some come to clear your path

@Kris I agree with katgirl I to lost my husband several years ago. The loss of a loved one is very hard!!! But you have grand kids who I am sure love there grandma. Please reach out for help,you don't have to do this alone. I have lost two sisters, two brother in-laws , mother and father and friends I have a very close friend fighting a terminal illness in the hospital right now. Life sucks sometimes but I am sure our loved ones would want us to be happy. So I have crappy days also, I feel your pain. I also live alone and I have a dog also.So hang in there you are not alone!!!

Welcome Kris, You will find alot of good support here!! Stay close read all you can about the addiction. We are all here to help each other in the journey!!!

@Kris Yes like Jillar said prop your feet up, you should cut back on the salt intake. Hopefully you can get to the doctor tomorrow

@Kris Wow you have a rough time!! This is the place to be!! Lots of support and great people!! You are doing awesome!!! I quit for health reasons also. I have the beginnings of emphysema also so I need to make this quit stick

@Steven Drojensky I'm glad your doing better today. Yes COPD for me also and emphysema so yes the smoking needs to stop! We can do this!!!

@Opah I know exactly what your saying!!! I have a person in my life like that, your so right you can't help someone that doesn't want help. I know the serenity prayer well!!! I just finished a zoom Al-Anon open speaker meeting. That's how I save my serenity.

@Steven Drojensky How are you doing today? Good job getting through the crave yesterday!!!

Soon when all is well you're going to look back on this period of your life and be so glad that you never gave up

You're probably overestimating what's going against you and underestimating what's within you

@Opah Me too!!! My umph got up and went!! Lol I wish I was that way. I get bored and don't feel like doing anything that's when I want to smoke. Get tired of trying to stay busy all the time

@Gus You are doing awesome!! 100 days is great!!! You amaze me your positive attitude is great! I sure did not have that in my early quit. Some days I still don't!! Good luck with the job hunting. I'm sure you will do great!

They need prayers for sure!! I have to go find something to do. Sitting on my butt watching tv bored and that's when I want to smoke!!! Crazy I know, but true

Goulash

Congratulations Robbie

You've got to get up each morning and decide to be positive even when the are things in your life that feel really hard

@Steven Drojensky I posted this in my thought for the day but I want to make sure you read this and believe in yourself!!!! To that one soul reading this I know you're tired you're fed up your close to breaking but there's strength within you even when you feel weak keep fighting!!!! You have got this!!!!!

To that one soul reading this I know you're tired you're fed up you're close to breaking but there's strength within you even when you feel week keep fighting

I don't know how my story will end but nowhere in my text will I ever read I gave up

@Kris Welcome to the train!!! Congratulations on your quit! There is so much support here. You can do this!! Not easy at first but it does get easier as the days go by. Read, post, keep busy!!!!

Good for you posting the SOS. Don't give in to the crave!!! Yoh have to keep yourself busy. I have been there and you do not want to keep going through hell week. You can do this I have faith in you. Reach out and vent on here if you need to!!! Just don't smoke!!!

@jillar That is fantastic news. You give so much of yourself to this forum!! Hope it all works out for you. You deserve to enjoy life to the fullest!!❤

Never forget where you've been never lose sight of where you're going and never take for granted the people who traveled the journey with you You may see me struggle but you will never see me quit
