Awww a great big hug to you. I quit for 3 months and messed up got stressed and started up again. The important thing is to pick yourself up, dust off and don't turn a slip into a relapse. As far as your daughter goes, I assume she is 14, and you are purchasing a home. And for some reason she thinks she has a vote in where you will purchase the home she will live in? What would give her this idea? I would relieve her of that idea first off. Like I tell my daughter, this isn't a democracy. She can voice her opinion and I'll consider it, but I get the final decision. Period. Once she can pony up the cash, she gets a vote. Just my opinion.

I totally blew it and feel like crap!!! I haven't been able to stop crying and feel horrible. I haven't been on for a few days because I was away and did great until I had to pick up my daughter today and an argument ensued again that started on Thursday. My anger and the stress of looking for a home to buy, (has to be where she wants), having medical issues of a surgical kind, basically everything finally got to me and I slipped!! I can't take my daughters 14 year attitude and I can't lay a hand on her even though she needs a boot in the rear. Her dead beat dad is no help and rewarded her behavior with a trip up north. Yet he can't pay the hundreds he owes in back child support!! I feel beaten down. I know I can't blame her for my slip I can only blame myself and to be really honest I don't know if I'm strong enough to deal with all the stress I'm going through right now. I want to stay quit I need help how to handle my kid. She knows I smoked an how important my quit has been and she doesn't care. Am I expecting too much from her?? What do I do??? I've already spent so much money on taking her to a therapist and it hasn't helped. I just feel so awful :( [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/16/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 73 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,555 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $803.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 7 [B]Hrs:[/B] 0 [B]Mins:[/B] 17 [B]Seconds:[/B] 10
