Re: Suggestion: Support group

[Guest guest]

Suzi,

I'm certain Toni is not alone struggling with cigarette issues, others with overeating, others with other addictive behaviors, etc. Everyone has issues. Maybe we can designate a day of the week, even just starting out with one morning a week to see if we can work on that particular issue towards total victory in our lives. I know I need encouragement on my end and don't have it. I could use a partner. Maybe I'm not alone either. Thoughts.

We could also have the cheerleaders who are fortunate to not be in a "battle" at this time, cheer us on--give us the strokes that we may never hear or receive even with family/friends support. We are more than a family here.

Good time to quit Toni... your body is telling you...I don't have to tell you what the cigs are doing... but with the heart beats... I think it's a good time to quit Toni..... I would also up your cayenne some and try a calming herb/tea... lobelia will help the crave for the cigs. Nerve formula in the files might also help the stress factor..

And the money you save on cigs will buy you more herbs....

PS Have you also tried deep breathing... take a breath... hold, release it slowly...

Morning Suzi,

Not taking anything outside of daily super tonic. This probably is not for concern but the skipping is pretty active. I feel like my heart is coming out of my chest (always do tend to wear that heart lol). Still not feeling well virus wise and am dizzy this morning but as I stated in my initial email, alot is going on so there is more then the usual stress.

One thing though is that this sure makes me cut down on the cigs. I light one up, my heart goes crazy and then I extinquish it. So I do listen somewhat

Thankyou Suzi

Hope you are having a wonderful morning

Certainly Carol.. we don't need desiganated days... we are here to help all the time.. picking out a morning or time will be hard for everyone since we have members world wide.. If you browse the message archives you'll see we've been supporting and encouraging many. Many just email when they need support... or when they can't handle the problem alone.

You're not alone on needing encouragement..We all do from time to time...

Sometimes members even need to "rant and rave" as they are going thru something, whether detoxing, changing diet habits or what ever. And when this happens you'll see many members jumping in for support.

We're all here and yes we are more than a family here...

Suzi,

I know this group is encouraging all day long, but sometimes a goal to work towards is what I was trying to accomplish. Sometimes fooling our minds as if we have someone over our shoulder watching is what I was thinking. Perhaps a few of us could just email privately if they want to start with small steps to accomplish their victory. I know this list is great and people are free to rant/rave. I was thinking it would be an "add on" to what we already have in place. I'm here if I can cheer others on. I know others are here too as it's been very obvious all along. Thanks.
