I'm not a football fan, but if the Ain'ts were playing I would most probably watch...I think I'll be making Cabbage Rolls on Sunday, that should keep me busy.
Indiana? That would be a major adjustment from N LA. My oldest son is in Nebraska and he loves it....
You've been really getting around with your artwork..congratulations.
Thank you Janet!
Yeah, I don't think I could do the Midwest....I would probably get arrested very soon....lmao!
We'll see.....say a prayer for NM...that is what I WANT. hahaha!

NM sounds good, but I've never been there. I do have a road trip planned for June when my grandbaby comes...Dylan and I are going to Nebraska to spoil her...
I remember you posting that! Very exciting.
I would like to go to South Dakota. I have a bit of a connection with a Medicine Man out there at Rosebud Res. I only know him from Louisiana, I would like to go visit him on his turf.
Maybe a road trip is in the offing for me this summer. My life right now is in such flux....it is hard to make any plans. I am so glad you are having a grandbaby. I became a great aunt last week. I hate the sound of that! hahaha.
Like I said before, Babies grow love!

Sunday: 1 cigarette...(ain't that a shame???)
Today: NO cigarettes!
I think I am going to make it today! I have chewed nicotine gum twice today, when I was feeling so agitated I was afraid I would bum one, or worse, buy some. But, it is 6:30ish here, I am in for the evening...and I think I will make it through tonight with no cigarettes!!!
The thoughts of smoking come into my mind...and I am able to put them off...til later, is what I say to myself...maybe later. Today, I was able to say...NON SMOKERS DON'T SMOKE! I cannot believe that I drove my car 45 miles to and from school today without a cigarette. Driving is a big, big, biggie for me. It feels really awesome to know I did that today.
Kat...Janet..., if either of you read this...are you still on Chantix??? Can you tell me about your taper, or when you plan to or how you come off?
Thanks,
Sarah

I just renewed my 3 month scrip, I plan on taking it until this scrip is gone, before that, I will discuss tapering, or outright stopping with my dr. I have read that it is more effective after 6 months.
OOOOOPPPSSS slapping my hand...HOW DARE I NOT CONGRATULATE YOU ON YOUR FIRST DAY AS A NON-SMOKER (totally)

Hey Janet!
Don't slap yourself on my account EVER!!! I really was more interested in the taper plan/length on the medication than I was for congratulations, but Thank You just the same. (My Dr. only wrote the prescription for one month???)
I ate pickled okra and pears and cheese for dinner! I figure I need a lot of little bites so it lasts longer, therefore fixing that hand-mouth thing a little longer. I am safely in my pajamas.....no threat of a store run for me tonight!
Tomorrow morning will be 48 hours....I just hit 36!
Okay...got a whole BUNCH of reading to do tonight. Thanks for the info!
Much love,
Sarah

Day 2...
Woooooooo hooooooooo BUT...I am having cravings about every 30-45 minutes! I just talk myself through it and get busy. I have been chewing on cinnamon toothpicks that a friend of mine brought me. They help.
I have chewed the nicotine gum four times today. When I walked my front door this evening, it smelled so good in my house! That is a tremendous feeling...I am really ready to put some distance between me and cigarettes. I cannot believe I haven't smoked in 2 whole days.
I am home, not leaving here for anything at this point in the evening...so I think I will make it through the night!

Dr only gave 1 month? Hmmmm. I don't remember what the Chantix site said, but I don't think a month is long enough. The idea is to get yourself unprogrammed from the hand to mouth poisoning. I don't think I would have been able to stop after just 30 days.
Oh, and you are a non smoker and non smokers don't smoke
Oh, and you are a non smoker and non smokers don't smoke
I had to call my doc for a refill every month. It was inconvenient but I managed to remember. Just give your doc a call a week before they're gone.
Sarah,
Here you are baby cakes lol...Wow, you are one determined non-smoker...Keep it up girl!!! I so hate the smell of smoke in anyone's house...pretty soon it will be Spring and you will open up the windows and let that sweet smell in....ahhhhhh...(hope you don't live in a traffic congested area lol)
I have to quit again...soon...I hate feeling controlled by ANYthing...
Hugs to you girlie girl,
Jan

Hey Jan, my sister, my friend!
I am okay. I think quitting smoking is giving me the blues! (frown). Sorry! I mean, I really do have the blues, but, who cares??? There are worse things in the world happening than what is happening with me.
Ooohhh, Jan, I wish you would quit with me! That would be fun to have a partner to do this with. Yesterday was the hardest day for me...much harder than the day before, then I started crying! Good grief, I will cry over anything! Ha!
The Chantix is definitely helping me...and I have been clearing my lungs of all kinds of crap, which is weird, because I never really had a cough. It is just coming up! (Have you ever lit a cigarette to stop coughing???, I know I have!).
Anyway, I ain't wearing the cigs that well anymore. Feeling tired, looking tired, you know...just time, that's all.
I am posting a little on the pain pills site, if you are around, come join in! I miss ya!
Love, love, love you.
Sarah

One day I will follow suit, when I am ready.
Love.
