Glad to see you "made it" to the week-end! You now have 2 days to do whatever is nessasary to make sure this quit is a success without any influence or "peer pressure" from those at work. one thing I want to mention if it hasn't already been brought to your attention....... We have members from all over the world...and time zones.....so anytime you feel the need to scream, or just want someone to talk to that knows what you are going through, hop on here and post. And also, if you noticed the very first forum at the top of the page is for posting an S.O.S. ... If EVER you feel like you can't continue, PLEASE post an S.O.S. as soon as some sees it, they will reply and try to help you through the difficult time.....we all had them. The rule of thumb, is not to lite up and throw your quit away until you have had 3 responses to your S.O.S. With that said... enjoy your (cool) weekend.....can't wait for the real spring time to get here. I've been lucky....a lot of the storms have been heading North towards you, but we are still getting rain, and cool (cold this weekend) temps...

For me, a lot of the quitting process WAS mental... Once I got into my head that I DID quit, it was much easier going foreword. For the longest time I kept thinking in my mind, that I was TRYING to quit.... And, yes....I became "one of those ex-smokers".... Lol.... At first I tried not to, but.... If I can seriously get someone I care about to even consider stopping, I will do anything in my power to help.....however, I try not to cross the line where I become irritating or pushy. The bottom line is, we all know smoking is NOT a very healthy choice we made many years ago, And it really takes commitment to yourself to stop the addiction... Don't let others negative comments or opinions sway you... There is absolutely NOTHING negative about quitting.....even being accused of becoming a "self righteous ex-smoker". I am glad you know about the junkie thinking and recognize it.. Good luck, and we are here to help you through.... Head down, and eye on the prize. :)
