Oh Hunny! I am SO proud of you!! Moonessence~ Sister Thank You! I wish I could BE there!! Its so much easier with support! Fiona~ Hunny, IT will pass! Focus on the NOW.. Put up a note to the older members of the family. You need a little slack right now as you are fighting an addiction. THEY can show love and support by keeping things calm! Big Hugs to you Sister! Falcon BTW ~ You made through this morning Hunny~ Well Done You! And Typing is a good way of occupying your hands  Stress can be helped by playing with Aurora ( YES She can do her bit for you too!) Stroking an animal releases natural calming thingies|( Can't t remember the proper name) into the brain that soothe ( and they are all our own!!) |

Fiona, how are you doing today honey? One step at a time right? Have you been breathing? Do you remember how? I still have to get that post back up but I am hoping you still remember how to do it. It will help a lot... after you get done coughing (sorry, but it does help SOOO much with cleaning out the lungs!). Remember, that those who smoke will usually always try to get you back to doing it and just allow your shoulders to relax, your head to be loose on your neck and your mind at peace. Then NO ONE will be able to tempt you back to it. And remember, you are so very loved and have candles lit and prayers going up for you from your sisters! (still don't know about the brothers lol). {{{BIG HUGS}}}} Rowan |

I quit smoking years ago. It had gotten to where I could feel it in my chest, my breathing basically. (FYI: I don't have any diseases from it that I know of.) But I just made my mind up and finished the pack I was smoking (have you seen the price of cigarettes? and then they weren't as high as they are now), and quit. If you aren't ready to quit you won't quit. The only thing you are doing by trying to quit when you are not ready is aggravating yourself, and being mean to the ones around you (nicotine fits). The best advice I can give anyone trying to quit is this: Make up your mind that you want to quit and do it. |

Thank you so much Natural_Wytch and Falcon and Earthangel and Rowan. Alot has happened in the past twenty four hours. I am so upset right now at myself, and at what is going on. To make a long story short, my day started with Christian's seizure when I just woke up...my son Jared is missing. Not run away missing, missing as in he and his friend Alonzo haven't been seen or heard from since 4pm today. Then I got a letter in the mail...well not a letter, a motion of intent for monies owed to my former attorney. He will not see one dime. I have to do a little investigating and spend some time at the clerk's office....all this...for a reason I know...but still I was doing so well I had no cigarettes even after christian's seizure(i won't lie i searched the ashtrays LOL) but I made it, til john got home, then I got that mail then jared didn't come home and it was downhill from there. UGH! I need sleep! I think i will try some meditation. I need it. Thank you Goddess! The phone just rang, it was jared. It's almost midnight, and he's waiting on a ride. I told him we'll talk when he gets home. To call when he is leaving from the cell of whomever is driving him home. Falcon- I will email you. Sometime this week. Thank you so much for posting your email addie. I will use that for sure. moonessence- I think I posted i got your voicemail...you called me when my kids just came into town though, which is why i didn't answer i think. My brain is fried, must go for now. Total cigs smoked today,,. I believe is ten. I think I'm going to go finish watching the sound of music.....the kids absolutely loved that movie. I was dancing around pretending to sing(mouthing the words LOL) and twirling....i had all the kids laughing and christian was in stitches he was laughin so hard. LOL Hugs and blessings to all of you! I love you all...thanks for being my listening ears and support. I will do this. Love and light, Fiona |

Oh Fiona! You Poor HunnyB! You really have had a day of it haven't you? Ok~ First lets talk about Jared, Sweetie He really is pushing buttons right now isn't he? Stay calm and see if there is an underlying reason. There may be something He needs to talk about~ even if its unfocused fustration. He is also old enough Hunny to take responsilty for his actions. Let him know this~ Its a difficult age~ Oh How I remember! LOL! Old enough to be demanding freedom, young enough to sulk when things don't go our way and confused enough about it all to be scared silly sometimes and not showing it! I think you need kitten gloves here Sweetie~ With a steel lining!! The Mail~ Hunny Take a deep calming breath and write a plan of action. Use Rowans breathing techniques~ and the ME TIME Fiona~ and If you want sing The Hills are alive~ DO IT, Don't mouth it! LOL! You feel great after doing it! Christian~ Hunny How is He? Has this happened before? And is you Doctor aware of it? If so all you can do is travel this road until you have answers. The key is to stay calm for Christian. I am here to listen to ALL your worries Hunny! Tell them to me or moonessence or whoever, get them of your chest so you can balance and Christian is ok knowing Mummy will sort it and Be there. Get some sleep, wake up refreshed and remember Today is another day and its ONE STEP at a time! I am Here Big Hugs Falcon |

I was at five cigarettes by yesterday. today, I'm ashamed to say is not so good. I'm having a good day so far, just doing so much. I'm trying too hard i think to make this a "norman rockwell " thanksgiving. It's not going to happen. I wanted to have the kids all bathed and dressed up for today, I wanted to do my hair and make up. Know how far I got with that? ZERO! I managed to clean and vacuum my daughter's room, the upstairs hall, our room and I haven't even picked up the floor. Last night I got our bathroom cleaned and managed to get two loads in the laundry. I just have to fold it all now, and I have one i put in this morning still sitting in the machine. I know....slow down....easier said than done. wish i could. Kids need to eat soon so im off now to find a healthy snack til the turkey is done. Thank you so much for the candles and support. Love and light, Fiona |

Dusting off the windows and the door here at the phoenix circle. LOL Okay...i'm gonna try this again. I've had three cigs today so far. i've been posting all morning and online so this has helped. it feels like i've been on here longer than an hour LOL. Please send prayers out I really want to quit. Don't post...LOL...just prayers please. I think that just puts more pressure on me. You all have been great and so supportive, so be great and supportive and when i've kicked the habit for a week, i'll let you all know and then we can hug and hooray then okay???LOL... Just wanted to let you all know since things are well(and I know they won't be all the time) but i think this would be a good time to quit. Thank you so much for your kindness and loving suppport. I love you all so much. Blessings Fiona |

Okay so I'm back on the non-smoking wagon. I managed to be smoke free, minus the five drags I took off a cigarette that john had yesterday when he came home. I'm a bit disappointed in him, because he said "WE" would quit smoking on the second, and he's still smoking. I guess I can't really pass judgment on him, I didn't exactly quit cold turkey the last few times I tried, but he laughs about it. I almost feel like he doesn't really want to quit. I TOLD him(not asked) not to bring any cigarettes home with him. If he wants to smoke at work, fine! But don't bring it here when I'm trying to quit. We'll see if he can at least respect that request...well, not request...ORDER LOL..... So this is day two and so far no cravings to speak of. I've been busy though. Posted earlier on our group here, posted to my group on yahoo, and I did some dishes so that kept my hands busy. Now I'm going to bake some peanut butter cookies. I found a quickie recipe on peanutbutter.com. You blink, and they are done! LOL...well not quite, but almost as easy. 4 ingredients, 8 minutes cooking and they are done. voila! Well thank you to those who have supported my quit smoking drive before and I hope this will be a better go round this time. Life is flowing a bit more smoothly for me, so I think this might be easier to do this time around. Have a wonderful day and thanks for listening to me ramble. Soon-to-be smoke free, Fiona |
