My wife left me and I stopped smoking!
I figured, well, I feel like used kleenex anyway, so I quit smoking 2 days ago, she dumped me the week before.

Will someone please send me a cute baby animal, I need to bite off it's head.

11. I know. My boyfriend has tried and tried and cannot quit
But you are rewarding yourself with clean lungs and a healthier body, not to mention nicer breath!

Hang in there! We believe in you!

3. That's the spirit!
Harming helpless animals helped me in the early days of my breakup, too.

Plus, you're going to live longer. :D

5. Wow... to lose two things that mean so much....
Just kidding, brother. Good on you for kicking the cancer sticks. It's a tough hill to climb, God knows I've never been able to do it. And it seems that you're dealing as well as can be expected with the other bit of loss. :hi:

12. I just went through a painful breakup
hibernated for a few weeks...now I am pampering myself a bit-got a massage, some new clothes etc, it's a little more than I usually spend on myself,but hey-I have one less person on my christmas list this year (the most expensive one at that). Hang in there it gets (a little bit) better.

13. Pampering
is a wonderful idea. It will give me the illusion that things are looking up.
