“When we feel weak, we drop our heads on the shoulders of others. Don't get mad when someone does that. Be honored. For that person trusted you enough to, even if subtly, ask you for help.”

Thank you for posting this.

Hey you, you made me cry first thing in a morning real big tears. I could so use one of those shoulders right now, pesky families.

Hey sinfree

You can have my shoulder. I may use yours too, same thing, we could share each others.

Stay strong love, and let me know if I can help.

in reply to Betts

Aww thanks Betts, you feeling sad too? Families can get so complicated these days. Are you struggling with your quit too. At least am doing ok with that so if you need some encouragement I'm all ears. :)

Yeah, it's family mainly, not sure but my confusion and heavy weight about it maybe because of the the quit too. I feel as if I need to be everywhere at once, pulled in all directions. Wherever I am and whatever I do, there's somebody needing something form me, and I can't be there to give it cos I'm here, trying to give it. Then you get someone else putting in their twopennoth, that you are not doing enough for another.

I'll end up no good for anyone at this rate!

in reply to Betts

Aww be careful Betts been there this time last year and it didn't end well, that's when I had my short lapse and started smoking. Try and explain to everyone that right now you need all your reserves to help yourself to stay quit. And remember you can't please all of the people all of the time. xx
