• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Please keep my wife and i in your prayers, we need them!!!!!

We're both trying to quit right now, and of course it's hard. We're snapping at the kids, each other, etc.

We started thursday evening and as it would go, I found one on the front porch under a chair. Of course it was very stale, who knows how long it had been there, had probably had even been soaking wet at one time.

It was pathetic!!! We both share this stale cigarette, hiding it from the kids. It didn't taste good at all, yet we both enjoyed it.

Patheteic, isn't it???

Just trying to bring some humor to a serious problem.

Will be praying.

lol that is pathetic but I remember back to when I was quitting and I would have done the same. It is strange what you would do to give into your addiction. If it had of been a cookie you would have thrown it away without a second thought but a cigarette? Hmm yeah addictions can be cruel.
