14 Days and Counting

[lynerwi]

My last bit of nicotine was 14 days ago.....the first week was no problem, as the pain meds from surgery blunted the need to smoke. The second week has been rough. Back to work, and the same stresses/pressures that seem to only be soothed by a drag or two of a cigarette (electric or paper, matters not). Now, it's all about choice...do I choose to

I'm about to quit myself. Waiting on the insurance to kick for Chantix

Tim, good luck! I'm doing this cold turkey, so I keep the focus on here and how--saying no to the urge, right now. It's working, but it is really hard not to just light up when things get a bit stressful.

Thanks sweetie. Hope you kick it too.
I know about the stress part only too well. I'm having to quit because I'm about to have some surgery (long story) and a surgeon won't touch me as long as I'm smoking. Chantix is the only thing that worked for me in the past, but the doctor back then only gave me a one month supply, and it's a 3 month regimen. And that's far from the only stressor in my life right now.

Anyhoo...long time no see! How have you been? Whats been going on with you? If you Facebook you can find me under t i m o t h y v e n

Hope the Chantix works for you, and that all goes well with the surgery.

Me, I'm doing ok, lots of changes since we last "spoke", geographically anyway.
The spouse and I are living in the mountains, and the girl child and her family are in Japan O_O Skype is my new best friend. Other than that, it's more of the same old thing, just getting through one day at a time.

Sorry to hear that the stresses in your life are numerous. Sending positive vibes your way in hopes that the list begins shrinking, at least as far as negative stresses...any good stresses, we want to hang on to :-)
