Feeling on edge....

[skillfulabbot]

stressed out because of various things and went out for a beer after 30 days sober...

 

junkie mind calling for a smoke... 

 

I wont smoke, but I really just want to calm my nerves....   I need to get over this bitterness I have with life...

[Doreensfree]

Skil...look at that fabulous quit you have...your mind can truly be your worst enemy...

Would smoking alter the stuff that going on in your life..NO...

All the crap is still there..then you will feel worse cos you have lost your quit making it more crap..

Even never smokers have to deal with curve balls that come along in life...

Don't give in to your junkie thinking..it will pass...fight and March on..

Stay close to the board ,while you are feeling low..we will help you through ..

NOPE...my friend...

Thanks Doreen,  I'm not going to throw this quit away....

 

But I am on my third beer, so I have thrown sobriety away tonight....  I am sticking to NOPE though, its the one dependable thing that i have right now...

[Doreensfree]

Skil sweetheart,drinking is not the answer either...

It works the same..problems are still there...

Facing life head on..dealing with things on life's terms..will make you a stronger person...

Put down the beer too..you are strong going guy...hold your head up and be proud...

The problems will get sorted..

Stay with us...play games...the sticks need help at the moment..us chicks have them licked..

Deep breaths skill...

Hey man,

Thinking about you and you can likely hear me holler, 'you'll feel better, let this pass'

Muster up your resolve.  Tomorrow will be another smoke free day and you can start sobriety again.

Stay close to us.  We give a sh*t.

Love,

I did not smoke.  But I'm at work with with a hangover and wondering which is really harder... giving up the drink or the sticks?  I needed this as a reminder of why I can run and hide under a bottle.  It's like hiding from a fire under a gas soaked blanket.   But then again, didn't I know that?   Thanks for the quick responses, that was my first SOS ever....  hopefully, I won't need more in the future.  But I feel relieved knowing you all are here for me when I need it.
