Saying goodbye without a cigarette
Saterday the 8th of February, my beloved doggy Ashby had a heart attack and died right in front of me, and there was nothing i could do for him. The emotional pain was so intense, that i did not even think about having a cigarette, which i would have had in the past. This quit is for you my Baby. Rest in peace!
I am so sorry for your loss - how awful for you whether you were a smoker or not. R.I.P. Ashby - until you meet again at Rainbow Bridge. Be proud of yourself for not reaching for a cigarette - stay strong when the reality sets in and the grief can increase.
I'm so sorry for your loss of a beloved dog. It's very hard! May you know that he is happy and without pain.. Also he did not have to endure a long illness. Are big German Shepherd Dog dead very suddenly last May and we still miss him so... Good for you for not wanting a cigarette!
Thank you Trish and WolfGirl for your condolences. It is a terrible experience, and never gets easier to say goodbye to your babies. I am 100% committed to quiting. Hope your quits are going well. We just need to stay focussed, no matter what.
