Sorry to argue, AM. I owned a business and my mother had a severe stroke. I had to go for a week and I didn't look back. You won't get any rewards in heaven for being a martyr. You WILL run your health and sanity into the ground, though. Sorry if my talk is tough. But it almost sounds like you're looking for an excuse to smoke again. Rusty

I think you need to take a day or two off. Yes, I know, you run your own business and a day off is that much money not coming in. I've been there and done it. If quitting is important to you, then you will do whatever it takes to stay quit. If you suddenly became very ill or someone in your family became ill, you'd have to take off. I'm assuming that you are eating, cutting back on the coffee, and drinking lots of water. If your physical craves are that bad, then I think you have no choice but to take care of your health by giving yourself a break from work.
