Good to hear from you, Traci. I was wondering where you've been. I'm sorry to hear life has been testing you. I hope it all gets better and settles down soon. Safe travels. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]8/25/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 29 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 870 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $169.65 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 2 [B]Hrs:[/B] 16 [B]Mins:[/B] 8 [B]Seconds:[/B] 39

Nope (pun intended), not because I am thinking of puffin, not even close - but I will talk about that so my post will stay... I am doing GREAT on the no-smoke thing. I am lax about taking my chantix now (I know, that isn't a good thing) but I have no cravings at all. Nudges, yes - but no cravings. I still have my guard up but after the last month of life issues, I think it is truly INSANE that I EVER let a rolled up bunch of weeds control and take a huge part of my life. So NOPE - not EVER! Now - to the real reason I posted. I miss all of you! I mean, in a weird (probably scary) way. Maybe it is transference...no funnies or life lessons from those I really got to know (and you know who you are), or sharing my own twisted sense of wit that even had me linked with unhooked (something I take pride in) -- life has just been blah and is not going to get better anytime soon. Son-in-law came out of coma but has some brain injury - that is now the least of his worries. He has sepsis and is on dialysis. Anyone who knows about sepsis understands this is a downhill slide. He is 41 years old and my step daughter said goodbye to him one evening when he went for a ride and now is living at a hospital with him. So there is a serious black cloud over Quitter-land and I think those of you who remember me know that is SOOOO not me. We are leaving in a few days to go to TN to be with the family so who knows when I'll be back online -- so I will leave you with one last funny story (that DOES involve not smoking you little moderators you..) and hope that you all remember me when I return.... Imaquitter's Lessons in Testing your Quit (that is the not smoking part I was talking about Jos): Step 1: Break IPOD (a/k/a my second love) Step 2: Buy New Video IPOD for Cali trip Step 3: Lose new IPOD while in Cali (owned for 1 week) Step 4: Break cell phone Step 5: Decide to buy an Iphone since they dropped the price and it has an IPOD in it (Brilliant thinking on my part) Step 6: Buy Iphone, take home and realize my operating system needs to be updated to use Iphone (So brilliant I can't read a box!) Step 7: Buy new OS and realize I have now spent more than the original iphone purchasers! (Okay - so idiot is a better word for me) Step 8: Install new OS and watch my poor MAC melt down. - ALL those steps and I never smoked!!!!!!!! In the end, I was w/out my computer for almost 2 weeks but I have my beloved MAC back and I am having a secret affair with my Iphone. Moral of this very true story: No matter what you buy or lose, how brilliant or stupid you feel, or whatever meltdown you experience --- YOU DO NOT NEED TO SMOKE! Okay - just deal with it for goodness sakes! Thank you and good night. Please keep my family in your thoughts/prayers/wishes. But most importantly - keep your quit -- life really truly can be worse than cravings for a smoke. Hope to be back soon !
