Well I have all day been having stronger and stronger NicoDemon cravings, I'm feeling quite vulnerable right now. My mom and I have received a letter from my brother in Texas...He has told us that the living conditions in prison were better then the halfway house. He has practically been stripped of all of his rights and can't do anything. We are trying to figure everything out, So we're going to send money to him once we get my mom's check. and we have to pay the water bill. We will have pretty much no money this month. And I was suppose to be getting new shoes because the ones I have are seperating. All of this is making it extremely hard not to smoke. I'm staying committed. I'm not going to relapse or slip up. Not this far into this, I have too much time invested to mess this thing up now. I'm triggering down into a depression, we did not expect any of this. Don't know if they will even allow him to have a phone. It was so great to hear from him. I'm really stressed because this is a situation that is beyond my reach...now this is when I use to go for my cigarettes. I would smoke cigarette after cigarette. Right now I feel like I have this thing in me, this outrage that I'm having to suppress because I don't want to take it out on others. I don't know where to find an outlet for this negative energy. It really makes me stop and question a lot of things. This is not making my quit easy. It is causing many many cravings. The NicoDemon is knocking hard on my door. I know I can't let him in, no old nic has no place in my life. I know if I took even one puff I would be so disappointed in myself I don't know what I would do at this point. I've come too far to let things go now. But I do keep asking myself however, how much more can I put up with? Living with my dad is proving emotionally taxing as well. I really wish I had more positive news. I've been trying to do my deep breathing exercises. I haven't even really wanted to go anywhere or do anything. I really thought there would be a different outcome with my brother. Nothing was suppose to be like this. I thought i got past the stage where things couldn't get worse...but apparently they can. When they do; when it rains, it pours. Advice how to get through this slump I am in would be greatly appreciated. One good thing is I am 93DOF....getting ever so close to TDC
