Today was a rough day. A really rough day. I am Bipolar which has been giving me a LOT of trouble in recent months, my son moved out a week ago leaving me completely alone and just when I was calming down from that stress my beloved rabbit Bear died this morning. I have been crying hysterically all day partially because the Bipolar is making me over react however.... not once today did I even think about a cigarette. Not once. I dealt with arranging the cremation and everything without even thinking about a smoke. Yay me! Cried like a baby but no cravings. :)

I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved rabbit. Furry friends become part of our family and the loss is devastating. Remind yourself that your son may be absent in the house, but will visit and possibly get married and have children of his own....enriching your life even more :)

You should be proud of handling this stress without thought of smoking or actually lighting up!!!!! I know I'm proud of you!!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing....I think it is proof to the newbies that it can be done and tears aren't so bad ((((((((((((((((Hugs))))))))))))))))))))
