Profile Information
- About Me:
- I have been smoking for like 23 years. I used to pretend that I was smoking my mom's cigarettes at a very young age. My mother and a lot of other family members still smoke to this day. Even though our uncle (my mom's bro and my mom's sis) my aunt, and my dad all died from lung cancer. I never did see exactly how it was when they suffered from this because I lived hours away from my hometown. But I know that I loved my aunt and uncle and dad. I also thought about my husband and how on his death certificate how it stated under did he smoke it stated unknown. He used to spend time in the bars(smoke) , hang out at his friends(who also smoked ) and at home with me(who smoked) He died of panc. cancer at the age of a young 41 years old. I never denied that second hand smoke effected other people . I just never thought it applied to me. Heck, I hated 2nd hand smoke and I was a smoker ! Hind sight 20/20.
I quit smoking on March 26th,2009 . Using the medication Chantix (Varenicline) UPDATE: I will not be on here for awhile.. I started smoking F/T I need a week or two to gather the strength and motivation. I need to stay clear of smokers , it is a hard thing to do. I want a cigarette ! It's my favorite food ! And now I am eating way too much and gaining weight. I feel like I'm missing something . But But like alcohol or any addiction I said good-bye. Why is it that alcohol isn't taxed highly? Probably because it is a widely excepted drug and it keeps police officers busy. Wish me luck! I still have a stuffed up nose I still ain't energized too much. I'm hoping to feel much better next week. Oh , have I said that I am very depressed ( I lost my job, home foreclosed, I 'm living with my mom again
Some of the side effects that are really effecting me are BAD GAS, stinky which it never came close to this b4. I have to let it out or there's terrible pain. And I pass it like every 3 to 5 minutes. lol
Stomach pains from the gas if not let out. lol Nausea with no vomiting, I don't go to sleep when I should I go very , very late. Vivid strange dreams. (wow, they are weird !)
I know that a lot of these songs may not be the most positive but they are songs I enjoy..... There are several more that I would like on here but these will suffice. These are the songs I already had on my list.
Update ***** Ever since my visit to the ex's I confess, I smoked, and smoked.Now I'm on my 3rd or 4 th try I can not even remember.
