Be gentle with yourself. Tomorrow is another fresh, new day.

Thank you LovesLife. Your words of kindness take me aback. I never considered being kind to myself. I suppose I should. Thank you. I will move onward... I will stop smoking again. I will stop eating insane amounts of sugar. I will have a great job again and be successful in it. I will live to serve others. And isn't that what life is all about: serving others?

That's the attitude. Do the very best that you can...
Embrace life and all that this beautiful world offers. Really, life is such a miracle. Have a better day today, and just do the very best that you can.

the harder it is to stop smoking the longer you will be smoke free.At least for me.It was so hard to quite 8 years ago that i will never smoke again becauseI would not want to go through that again. It was a dark cloud for a while after quitting but all I see is sunshine now. The best change I ever made in my life, and I have made quit a few.

So how are you doing now? I know this is a really old post. I had quit in 2011 and then started up again about 6 months ago (again). I really want to quit but I haven't had a panic attack in months and I'm worried that if I quit smoking that I'll start having them again like last time. I know that smoking isn't the magic solution to anxiety, and I'm taking medication to help with my panic attacks. I just have to have the courage to do it and trust that I'll be OK, even if I have some anxiety. It has felt great being panic free, but I don't want to do something unhealthy. I also caught a really bad cold and I hardly ever got sick for the 12 years that I'd quit. Hope you're doing well.

Thank you. I am happy to say it's been 1 years since my last cigarette.

So glad to hear that!! I'm starting over. This time is different though. My husband had a health problem so that he HAS to quit and I want to be supportive. I just need to push through the anxiety. I'm not craving a cigarette really I'm just afraid that my anxiety and OCD will get worse again. I know that it doesn't have to be that way. I just have to take good care of myself.
