Bug away. That is what we are here for. 😁

I had very little confidence, when I started my quit. I was so ashamed of smoking. The forum really held me up through my quit. Every day without that cigarette, gives you so much power. Stay close and we will help you get there too!

I would definitely take that as a clue. Why put off the inevitable. You have to get the nicotine out of your system anyhow, why not just do it. Just keep looking ahead and keep you eye on the prize - a life free of smoking.

A very sweet picture. My father-in-law also died of smoking related lung cancer. I thought it was a terrible death. I still continued to smoke thinking it would not affect me, I am young and will quit, .........................42 years later and I was still smoking and making excuses. I pinch myself everyday and can't believe I have finally quit and how powerful I feel. You will get there too mrsguest.

I think I would talk to the pharmacist. Maybe they are a bad batch. I did try them years ago but ended up quitting cold turkey.

We have three. Here is my troop. Missy (left), Angel (middle) and Zoey (left).

Cute pups!

Nope!

My hubby and I are heading your way the week of October 14th. I have a friend near Memphis. Aren't you in Nashville, Boo?

Our summer is over today also. We are still having days in the 80's with humidity. I love this time of year but dread winter. My husband is finally retiring in January. Looking forward to being a snowbird!

Two hours is a long wait to me. You must have learned patience on all those train rides!

I always thought your healthcare of good. You are lucky to be so healthy. I like having a family doctor. I am hoping she is caring and compassionate when I get old and cranky! I don't necessarily care about health care for all. They just need to make it affordable for the little guy and the seniors.

Of course life is good. It is smoke free. Glad to hear you are doing great and enjoying life. Pictures would be great!

I could not imagine having my own family doctor. I had heard there were some issues with overall health care but did not realize it was this bad. I know people here are going to Canada for prescription meds because the cost is outrageous here.

Nope!

I'm drooling. Reci, they do have that at Costco. We get it there and it is good! We tried their roast lamb and it was tough.

I know. My husband should have done disability years ago. They say it is impossible to get on. I am so thankful he finally made it!

I don't think it will be any different because of your state. Medicare is through the government. It is from Social Security. You know, that thing we paid into all our life and they want to take it away because they feel it is an entitlement.

Mrsguest, so glad you made it through the day. Beautiful tattoo. You should be so proud of yourself. Keep powering through!

Since we are coming upon Medicare age, I have been getting prepared. I did not realize that you have to pay $200.00 (per person) a month for it and it only covers 80%. The supplemental is going to cost us another 200.00 a month and we are still going to have a $3.000.00 deductible. Geez!

OMG MLMR! Don't give into those nasty thoughts. You have come to far. I guess that is why we will always be addicts because it creeps upon us when unexpe ted. Just breath gurl. This too shall pass.

Good news should not be celebrated with a death stick! Breath that clean are in and think about the clean healthy life you will have. You can power through those craves.

Hellkatbaby, it is so great to hear from you. Cut yourself some slack on how you are feeling. It is normal for your emotions to be all over place. Try to start your day with the confidence that you are beating this battle. Listen to your body each day. It is letting you know what you need at the moment. I do think you should try another therapist. Sometimes it takes clicking with the right person. Lean on that family. Love is the best medicine. Know that I continue to pray for you and hope you can start seeing some positive results. X Linda

Glad you came back mrsguest. This time let's get this done. I agree that you need to stay close to the forum. Play some games and get to know us. We do want to see you succeed. It will be a tough couple of weeks and then redirecting those craves. You can do this!

NOPE
