Hi ya'll -
Sorry that I have been off the radar - computer was on the fritz!
I made it through my first weekend - I have to confess it was
hell. I got alot of excercise tho - since I walk out the front door and around the neighborhood when the craving strikes! I am getting
lots of support from my close friends - but have not gone out with
my buds that smoke the NICDRAGON! I think that I will avoid that for
a least another couple of months!
My husband still is smoking but is going to the doctor tomorrow to
see if she will give him some Wellbutrin. We'll see how that all
works out. I know that it has to be His Quit - but he is smoking
outside in the backyard - and that I can't make him quit. Too bad he is totally computer spazy or he could come on and join the Knights.
But professes to be able to quit his pack a day habit - no problem.
He's done it a million times!! HAHA
It has been easier not to smoke when I know that ya'll are here to
support me and somehow you care!

Hi Knight Christine -
Thanks for the encouragement! And here is the answers to your questions. For the last 15 years or so I have only smoked about 4 cigs a day - I didn't have one until after work and would go out on my porch and smoke until I went to bed (I am a totally early to bed girl)! On the weekends I would probably have 7 or 8. I wasn't a heavy smoker but still an addicted one and couldn't find the willpower to quit it totally. When my doc said I had to be smoke free by the time I saw her again I knew it was time to quit but needed help. (my dad never smoked but has diabetes and has been diagnosed with "something malignant" in his lungs. He is in too poor of health to go in and find out what exactly it is) So there is family history of bad health - my grandfather had tuberculocis (sp?) and my grandmother died of lukemia) So to make a long story short - didn't want to end up like my dad.
My husband smokes about a pack a day - so it was our thing to be able to go out - sit on the porch and talk about our day - and smoke!
So... that's my story. I did reward myself a little - got a massage!
I am feeling better and definitely cleaner. Our office manager smokes
outside of work and I am noticing that her office smells like it. I never noticed that before! Thank God I don't smell like that anymore.
And my step-sons have told me over and over again how proud they are
of me. That is a reward in itself!
Thanks for being there and so encouraging me along. Sorry this was
so long - but you asked!

Hi Christine:
Again, thanks for the support. I am so sorry about your mom and the rest of your family - it is scary to know that those tendencies are
in our families. I am feeling stronger every day. My husband has
been so supportive and I haven't seen him smoke since I quit - except while we were out. He is smoking but not where I can see - So that helps.
I am feeling tired - but I know that the energy will come and my
tongue feels kinda raw. IS that Weird?
Thanks again
