Nickie - keep it up. I told my 14 year old that toda was day 99 (this was yesterday) and he was so happy, little punk only cares about himself, right? Sometimes your strength comes from a distance, sometimes it comes from right next door.

congrats on 100 days! I'm so proud of you! It's such a wonderful feeling .. (hug)

I need to RANT! The past couple of days has been mixed emotions. Some of you have known that my son and I were waiting to go to a specialist. I'm too freakin' tired to type it all out but basically my husband took a new job the end of May. Better oppurtunities - more money - less work stress etc! Anyways - Cobra is $1455.00 to keep insurance up until July 30th. So from May 22nd to July 30th - 1500 bucks. ????? Holyaaaaflac .... We elected to take it but it takes 3 to 4 weeks to get everything flowing so to speak. If the Doctor calls our insurance now - it states we are "pending". The specialist I am assuming doesn't accept that sort of "excuse". I mean the receptionist was extremely nice but extremely nice doesn't let me and my son converse with the Doctor. Our appointment that I made the beginning of April was June 12th - that was the soonest he could get us in. He is the only specialist around here (and he's 45 miles away at that) that sees adolescent and adult patients. Otherwise my son and I would have to see two different specialists. I could have seen the Doctor yesterday if I wanted to pay the 250.00 office visit upfront and have Cobra reimburse me when we are not "pending". Mind you, that would have been 250.00 for my son and another 250.00 for me. I was so devasted. Why? She made me another appointment for August 17th. My husband will have his new insurance by then but if I don't elect Cobra and pay the $1500 premium now it states that other insurance companies might have us wait up to a year with pre-exisiting conditions. I feel like I am just fucked all around. Meanwhile my son and I aren't getting the medication or care that we need. It just sucks.

Yet on the other hand .. I applied for a job at the elementary school I worked for this year and they hired me for the clinic - health aide. I went to college and have my license for that. So that is a plus. I've got to think postive .. just all the negative shit keeps adding up. Think postive Nick. Think positive .. right? I've thought about Copenhagen the past two days. I guess craves maybe? I dunno .. what the hell is a crave? If I only knew now what I didn't know at 14 ... picking up that freakin' can and telling myself .. this is nothing - I can quit at anytime. Please don't fool yourself into thinking that it's ok to dip to cope. It's not. Though I admit today in my head for some reason - that's what I thought .. Go ahead, Nick .. everything is so crappy why not just give up .... give in! Just screw it! Then the same mentality crept in "If anyone needs Copenhagen it's me .. Just do it .. you can quit later when you're feeling better." .... STOP!

And then I did something I had never done before. I called my 13 year old and I said, Honey .. Do you care if Mommy got some Copenhagen and started dipping again? I could hear the fear in my teenage son's voice .. Mom, please don't - I love you! After that I was better! I was ok. I had made it through and my son had helped me.

To those of you new in your quit or thinking about it. You see, I am on Day 161 and I still have to at times not only take it day by day .. but hour by hour. Believe me though, it does get easier and it's so much better. If you need help - ask for it. Even if it comes from your teenage son or daughter, yes .. the ones with the know it all attitude. (maybe ... just maybe they do know some things)

Hang in there - I am!
