Please, Take Your LIVES Seriously ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In 'real' life and here on the QTrain, I see people being careless about their lives and their quit, like they have all the time in the world ! 'I'll quit next week, maybe tomorrow, I'll quit again sometime'. Are they not understanding how dangerous smoking is ? It's a friggin' Slow Suicide ! The ramifications are Horrible. This is no joke. Ask our beautiful friend, Doreen ! I, too, used to be casual about quitting, casual about smoking. so, it is no surprise to see others in Denial. I wasn't listening to any kind of Sense, or Logic, or TRUTH, either. Then, suddenly, I 'got it' and thanks to the information here, I educated myself about Nicotine Addiction. After that, there was simply no other choice except to Quit and be Quick about it ! I would no longer live as a Slave, or die as one either ! I wish I could give that Eureka moment to everybody struggling with addiction but, I don't know what happened or why. At a certain point, I listened and Understood and I give this to you, Understand your addiction, and Be Free of it. Your Lives are Precious.

Friday was to be my quit day... I was breezing along doing fairly well that day but had a bump in the road and I just imploded. Traumatic events that happen that early was just too much for me. On Saturday morning I had to put my beloved boxer dog Baxter down after only a couple days of illness so I had no time to even consider such a horrific outcome. He was 10 1/2 and I had had him since he was 4 weeks old and he was the love of my life. I got back on the train though late yesterday afternoon and I am doing well today. I don't have any cigarettes and wont' buy any. For fleeting moments from time to time I want one but it isn't bad.. nothing that I am pulling my hair out over. I was probably quite weak not continuing my quit when I had to put my dog down, but on the up side I did stay alcohol free when I had every intention and had actually given myself permission to have a double shot of Patron's. I chose against it and to stay clear minded as I cried. Some day really soon I will also feel that way about cigarettes.. I won't want to spoil/ruin the progress that I make for anything..
