Profile Information

About Me:
I'm a mom of two, grandma to six! We live in rural southeast Kansas and I work as a bookkeeper in a bank. My "picture" is actually my granddaughter, Sydney. She motivates me and that pose she struck for the picture says, "come on you can do it Grandma."

I've come to the conclusion that life as a junkie isn't the kind of life I want and I'm determined to kick this stinking habit once and for all.

No big deal about not checking on me over the weekend, as I didn't spend much time at the computer (it's a place I'm trying to avoid for a while...triggers, you know...LOL) I agree that it's strange how quickly I fall apart (this is my third attempt and the third time I've melted down that way). My dear friend in Wichita also said there must be more to the funk than just the quitting. She might be coming over Sunday for a long visit, so maybe we can get to the root of the stupid blubbering. In the meantime, I'm smoking about 1/2 a pack a day (down from 1 1/2 packs), and I'm doing pretty good with that (no tears, etc.) I'm picking up my scrip for Chantix today and will start weaning off the Wellbutrin. I'm SOOO disappointed in that drug, I can't put it into words. Oh well. I want to thank you for all of your encouraging and supportive notes. I am also getting a great boost from this site and all the cool and courageous people who post here (that includes YOU!) Have a good Tuesday! Hugs!

Sigh. I'm ashamed to say I made it about 4 hours (and three of those I spent crying). I would be involved in something, doing just fine, then I'd get a craving and the tears would start rolling down my cheeks. BUT I've only had four all day and usually I'd be through 3/4 pack by now. Sigh. I'm going to call Doc Hutch Monday and get an RX for Chantix. BTW, T is doing great and only one major craving all day! So I'm really hoping it will work for me, too. I'm just sick about how weak I am. Mentally I have my head completely wrapped around doing this, but emotionally I'm a basket case, and that makes me angry/sad about how addictive cigarettes are.

Yes, I'd like to have a quit meter. I'd like to know how many days (hours!!) I've succeeded. I think that will be a good incentive/reminder. I did make a long list of "good reasons to quit," cut each reason into a strip of paper, and put all the strips in an empty cig box. Whenever I have a craving I can reach for the box, pull out a slip and meditate on that positive message until the craving passes.

121 days??? Dang...that's awesome! Congratulations!

Thanks, Chris. I may take your advice and call/visit the bank. I am really excited about having a "quit buddy" as it will help to have encouragement from someone who is still going through the process. I just promise I won't call at 2 a.m. ....LOL Saturday is our quit day and we're going to Wichita Sunday...won't THAT be interesting??!! LOL It either will be liberating or torture.....but it needs to be done, and sooner is better than later.
