I've been smoking since I was 11. Am now 35. Been trying to quit for forever. So I'm at the end of day 3 and didn't really feel like killing anyone today. Kept really busy all day though. Less time to think about it, I guess. Anyway, I've decided this has to be about the hardest thing I've ever done. And I've born children...anyone who's had children knows what I mean. lol Anyway, just thought maybe a little support and rapport from/with other former smokers might be a good thing.

Have a good evening all.

Just wanted to drop a note and let you know the first 3 days were the hardest for me. Not to say that was it - but, they were the hardest. Keep up the good work. Oh yeah, today makes day 13 for me and I feel great!!!!!

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
