I'm really sorry to hear about your cat.

But you have to focus on the positrive. (I realize there is nothing positive about your cat being lost)- put up signs, run an ad on Pets911.com or some missing pet website and then you have to just have faith. Smoking wont resolve any issue- it will add to the stress. Take some time to breathe deep and stay centered- youre doing great,. Good luck w/the interview.

Hi Hun,

I'm sorry you're doing it hard right now! But forerica is right, picking up a cigarette isn't going to make the issues go away. Your problems will all still be there AND you'll be back on the cigs.

You can do it, I know you can. And as hard as it seems right now, well it does get easier. You're doing great, just hang in there and good luck with the interview BTW.

Hugs,
Cath

Cath & Deb said it all~

Stress is one of the worst triggers to fall back into your old ways, but you just have to be stronger than you ever thought you could be. Take it one minute at a time and just keep delaying. Before you know it the days gone and your still smoke free. I wish the best for you and hope you can be reconnected with your kitty soon!
Good luck at the interview too~

everyone left a good answer. just like i wrote in my own journal....no matter what, you will always have stress. handle it smoke free.

Sorry about the Cat, perhaps he/she will return. Wise not to smoke, smoking causes stress, so if you can hang tough for a few more days, I think you will find each day gets better.

Maybe if you try putting her favorite food outside or make some familiar noises she will find her way home. Please don't smoke it won't change anything. Hugs Jazz

I keep calling and calling to mine when she runs away. Sometimes they do show up unexpectedly. I hope so. Mine gets scared but I play music and she comes to that sometimes after being away for days. I know you must be frantic. I am so sorry that this is a hard time. Good luck to you.

Thank you timetraveler for your advice. Thank goodness kitty returned a couple of days ago.

awwwwwwwwww Im so sorry about your cat. My kitten died a few months ago and I was heart broken. But when my Dad was alive he lost his cat and she was gone for 3 months and one day he looked down the driveway and there she was, We could hardly believe it so Im hoping that your cat will come home too. It is hard to stay quit when you are sad and stressed but its doable. Smoking wont make you happy it wont bring your cat back and it wont get you the job so when you crave remember the 5 D,s delay,distract,drink water,deep breathe and DS
