It's ok... I'll try again... I just have to get the point where I can do it 
again.... I'm doing BETTER and BETTER each time I quit, so I have some faith 
for the next time!  ;-)

This is a pretty old message... I hope  that things have been REALLY good for 
you and that you have succeeded so far! Please don't feel though that if you 
don't make it this time that you never will----- THAT is NOT true!!!!!   It 
DOES make sense to me, (your feelings about it), but at the same time, it is 
the feeling of defeat speaking... It happens to ALL of us Eileen, but it 
doesn't mean that you're not going to make it next time... If you quit 
trying, then you'll NEVER succeed!  Please remember that each time you try 
that it is a step closer to your goal... I hope that you are still smoke-free 
and that all is well with you... Please let me know and I'll try not to stay 
away for so long...  Good Luck and I'm here for you in any way that I can 
help you.
Cheryl
