    Does that meant you would like to be added to the list of brand new non smokers?

    Moment of truth
    I'm checking in but not doing good. I did quit on the 3rd stayed true until the 4th and was back smoking on the 5th and ever since. I bought a pack on Wednesday that lasted until Saturday and then broke down and got another pack.

    I don't know whats the matter with me, and I'm feeling so guilty too. On top of that I was supposed to go back to work, which I did do last Monday, but after that I couldn't get myself up and out of bed, so I'm feeling like a real loser right now. My house is a mess, and I'm feeling really down about not being able to carry the load I usually do.

    I've never had a problem with depression, so I don't know if that is what I experiencing or what. I think maybe it's time to talk to the doctor about some kind of anti-depression meds. That actually scares me half to death. Because I've never been on any and don't know what to expect, or how long they wqill take to work.

    I know what I'm going through is probably normal, but I don't like it. My norm consists of working full time, going to school full time, taking care of the house and kids, while supporting the whole house finacially too. Needless to say my Husbro, as I call him is a loser!. He's supportive of me to a degree but overall he is a loser who can't support his family financilly. And that's what I need to be able to rest alittle easier.

    Since I just had my second surgury a little over 2 weeks ago, I can pull that card at work. But the last time I was at work my Boss mentioned a new postion that pays $2.00 more an hour. I don't want to miss out on it but it look I might have to for now. I called and asked about state disability and they said I would qualify, even if I worked part time. So I think that's what I'm going to look into at least for a while. That way I don't lose my job or have to take a leave of absence, but I can still pay the bills.

    It's hard for me to admit that I may have a problem with depression sinking in. I finally go see the Oncologist this coming Friday and will know for sure what my treatment plan will be, my surgeon has said chemo all along but hen after the last surgury she said maybe only rad's, so I'm crossing my fingers. (no stress there, right!)

    I really want to quit smoking, and i haven't given up on me yet, so I'll set a new date for Saturady, after my next appt.

    Sorry I'm letting everyone down, and dumping all this here, but that's where I'm at right now, (maybe I should copy and paste this to a new thread)

    Tj you are awesome, by keeping this going, I really hope to be on track soon.

    We pick up the pieces and move forward!
    Aurora, please do not apologize to us. You are not letting us down. Quitting smoking, and especially now, is extremely hard to do. I watched enough people try to quit when they didn't have stress in their lives and we are all trying at a time when we have been the most tested in our lives!! PLease do not beat yourself up over it!!
    You may be experiencing some depression and you are wise to talk to your Doc about it. You also may find some weight lifted off your shoulders once you know your plan. I know I felt a tremendous sense of relief when I found out. Still scared, but not so weighted down with the unknown.
    Also, checking into the disability sounds like a plan as well. Hang in there. You and I need to get on a better sleep schedule!!! I just realized how late we are up posting!! Hmmmm.....maybe an idea for a new thread!!...insominacs unite!!
