8 weeks +

Hey Everyone....It's been a while since I have checked in.....Things are going ok....I have had a severe ear infection in both ears....I have never had ear infections in my life....I started playing in my mind it is because I quit smoking....boy that stinking thinking will sure try to get you when you are down...Yes I have been down for over a week...two antibiotics later and lots of prayer I'm starting to feel somewhat better...I have been having smoking dreams and craving cigarettes so bad...but I haven't given in...I refuse to be controlled by those nasty things anymore.....The meter reads 8 weeks+ that's awesome....but it hasn't been that easy as at the beginning, but I have cut back on the Chantix to the 1mg a day......hopefully I will be able to get off it soon....Getting ready for Thanksgiving as everyone else is....We sure have alot to be Thankful for this year.....no matter what our circumstances are, there is always something to be Thankful for.
God Bless you All

6 weeks

I have been very busy lately with the new 10 hour shifts and taking care of grandkids on the week-end, geocaching and going to high school football games...I didn't even realize I haven't blogged in over two weeks...the meter says I haven't smoked in over 6 weeks...wow that is crazy...I have had moments where I wanted to but so far haven't.....I did cut down on the Chantix....was taking 1mg in the am and .05mg in the pm...for a few days...but now I'm taking the 1mg...in the mid am.....it seems to be working ok....went for breakfast with hubby after church today....walked into the casino part to get to the restaurant...oh my goodness the smell was horrible....never noticed it before...but it almost made me not want breakfast....I'm so very happy....it isn't a walk in the park though...I sometimes wake up depressed ....missing my old friend...but then again it wasn't a friend at all......Hope everyone is doing ok....Good night for now....My
