You can do it, Dana! You will love the way food tastes without the smokey flavor.

*smiles* thanks guys. I am feeling more confident about it today than I have since Jan 1st (when I 'gave up' despite fact that most days I have cheated. Big difference nonetheless between smoking one cigarette and smoking 10-20).

It's now 15:25, and I have managed to go most of the day, so far, without it being constantly on my mind. The thought did occur to maybe wander down to my friend's house, ostensibly to visit, but really to finish one of the stubs in his ashtray, but managed to convince myself that was a bad idea :P

Good luck Dana. Have you considered munching on carrot sticks or something like that? Some people say it helps.

And what ever happened with your political showdown that was brewing?

Whats upsetting me today? We are adopting a dogfrom our local animal shelter, so yesterday animal control came out to do a yard inspection, walked to my side yard, smelled the 100 piles of dog shit in my next door neighbor's yard, and gave him a warning to clean it up. The reason it upsets me, is that I feel like it is my fault they gave him this warning. It does not bother me because we don't use that part of the yard anyway, and I realize it was bad for the neighbor's dog to live in that mess, but I still feel guilty, because they are wonderful neighbors and our kids play together every day.

It's unsanitary to leave piles of dog shit lying around. Don't feel too bad about it binky. When they've done it, I'll bet they'll actually be glad about it, specially if they're as nice as you say they are.

I had a panic attack in one of my college classes today.

We were all supposed to read part of the declaration of independence and when it was my turn to read my voice started shaking and I started getting really nervous.

You'd think this would be a case of being afraid of public speaking, but there were only 9 or 10 people in the class. And it didn't stop at just nervousness and a shaky voice.

I started getting heart palpitations in my chest and in my neck, my hands started to shake, I started sweating, my face flushed, and my vision started to blur. In the end, I couldn't get a word out. I was completely speechless.

So I was siting there in my chair for about 15 seconds, everybody looking at me. Finally I got the words out "could somebody please read for me". So somebody else read. I sat there mortified and still shaken up.

This comes at the worst time for me. I have no friends in college. I haven't even talked to someone I know in about 2 days. All I do "for fun" is school work. I used to be mildly popular in high school with a semi large group of friends. But they are all gone now, and I'm left in Portland with nobody.

And now I get panic attacks.

Wonderful.
