Nic blogging update … still smoke free
Just in case you were wondering, no I’m not smoking. No I’m not using the patch. I got some advice to pound cranberry juice to help my body adjust. Ran out of cran this morning, but since cran juice is one of my favs I’ll be getting more soon.
Now, the next question is whether the quitting is getting easier. No. Flatly no. It’s getting harder. I have a lot more stress in my life at the moment and that is NOT helping.
Will I slip? Will I cave? I don’t know. I’ve been able to resist the temptation in the store a few times now, but really it’s getting harder.
Yeah, I know everyone is rooting for me. Yeah well, I’m also banging my head against the wall sometimes. I’m also just wondering if yeah the timing of getting sick was good, but then the big honking wrench that fell into the works (actually at least two wrenches) are working against me.
Crap and anti-smoking ad on the radio. Jeez.
Maybe if I just become a hermit for a while…

try a yo yo every time you want a cig get out your yo yo and play with it for awhile, you’ll get really good at it and you can impress your friends with walking the dog and around the world (two good beginner tricks). It worked for me 31yrs smoke free and no it is not easy but it’s worth it. good Luck.. Wowie’s Aunt.. Janet
Ps when you buy a real yo yo (wooden with decent weight, go to a real toy store) buy extra stings too you’ll need them.
quitting smoking was really tough for me. after 5 years i tried pills, cold turkey and even hypnosis. finally i tried the smoking patch and it worked for me. withdrawl was not in the picture so i kind of just smoothed my way out of cravings. read more at http://quitsmoking.herbalmedstore.com
