What's up, Y'all!?
Boy have I been under the weather. I got food poisoning or something. So the last 36 hours have been H-E-DoubleHockeySticks! Plus, I've had to do my shows, which is pretty scary. I'd walk off-stage and double over in pain. But nobody in the audience had a clue; everything went fine. Considering!
I think I'm on the mend, though, and ya know what? My first smoke-free sick...ness? I don't know what to call it. But hey, it's a first and I got through it w/out lighting up. Take that, Ash!
So, now I get to curl up on the sofa and reward myself with a netflix. Hope everybody's doin' well and hangin' in there!

Awesome! Congrats Lolo!
Thanks, Jean, Banana & Lou for your good thoughts. I am feeling better as far as the food poisoning's concerned. I slept a LOT. Just got up, in fact. :) And I had awful dreams of slipping, of smoking, of rationalizing. It really shook me up a bit. And the strangest thing: I woke up with a sore throat. What's up with that??
It's all good. I know I didn't smoke. But Jeez...
Hope you're all well!!

Don't smoke! It's not worth it!

What's up fellow April Ash-kichers?
I'm about to hit the hay successful for my 32nd non-smoking day. The longest I've gone on a quit and this is the one; I just know it. I'm on Chantix, which has been great. It's helped me to not have the physical/chemical cravings as much; so I'm left with just my anxiety to battle. And this program is amazing! My Glove Compartment alone does wonders for me. I look at my streak every morning and it helps me throughout the day. I think: "why would I want to mess that up??"
So, Jean, thanks for getting this thread started. Looking forward to posting and reading your posts, all of you. Let's kick some ASH!!! :eg:

Thanks for the welcomes Lou P. Lou and Jean!
Monday's been okay. My busiest day since quitting; no more hiding from the grind. And I survived! The Anxiety Monster (what I call the addiction) was after me more than ever. I think he's scared, desperate, holding on by a thread, trying anything just to stay in the game! But I never came close to taking a puff. Step off, Anxiety Monster! I got mad Ash-kicking skills. And I got support. :p :8|: :8o: ;p
Starting to have some fun!!

Big Bertha, you're a great inspiration. Thanks for joining!
How was the transition off of Chantix for you?
