Well I am still smoke free. I lost count of the days so yea. But i want to take a sec to thank this site. Not sure if you guys understand this but i glad i found it. 1st it helped with music. And it also help with support, because of the warmness i meet when i first posted i know that i had people here that would help. If i need you i know someone here would be that shoulder that i needed. I thank everyone of you for being that.(even though i have not needed it yet) But thank you for helping a person the lives in mi. You could be hundreds of miles away and just think that because of your kindness you helped a stranger. So one and all give yourselves an hug. Its from me thank you. hug.gif heart.gif

Your welcome. It's the best thing I ever did for myself and one of the hardest addictions to quit. I am proud of you!

nope still smoke free. don't even have ergs anymore. nothing. I like the fact that smoking don't center around everything. I even lost some weight to. I was freaking out about gaining to much when I was planing to quit. So the up and up it's all good. biggrin.gif

I am so happy to hear this maddogmikk. I know how hard it is and I believe you've done it for good! I know I gained weight food tasted so much better I think because I could smell it. But it comes back off and I found you can exercise better because I can breath! I am so relieved to hear this news. Thanks for answering.

Slainte cheers.gif

I bet your wallet is also glad you quit smoking.

That's the main reason I quit several years ago. Wrigleys Extra sugarfree gum really helped me.

Still smoke free and its awesome. Food tastes 100 times better. Breathing improved and 100% not wanting to go back. Wife still smoking but shes says shes going to try to stop. Shes trying I should say. And shes doing okay. The Drs. still have no idea what is wrong with my neck,arm, and now it seems to include my whole shoulder now. The pain pills they gave me don't work they just put me to sleep.
nothing like being in pain and being sleepy. Your to tired to move and yet you have to cas it hurts so bad. O what fun lol. Some good news my wife still has her job but she did pick up a new one on the side that seems to be a lot better. She is a consultant for Pure Romance so the hours dont mess with work at all but now her first job is harassing her about pure romance because of some of the things she sells. They never stopped to ask her anything about it. My mother who is full blown Cristian sat down with my wife and asked and after wards said that she miss judged it. She said that after hearing what the company was made for even tho she does sell bedroom accessors, its is a okay job. Now thats something amazing for my mom to say if you knew her. So what ticks me off is that my mom can sit down and say oops but her boss she cant even ask what it is about and just judge and then harass Amanda(wife) to the point that if we could hire a lawyer we would be taking her to court. I mean its down her boss cutting her hours down so badly that it ticks Amanda so that one day she'll freak out and lose her job and also to, this i truly ticks me off. if Amanda is even be off of work out of her uniform and if she is on the the grounds and if she says anything about pure romance and her boss hears it shes trying to fire Amanda. Thats how bad it's gotten. I would understand if Amanda was on the clock and then tried to do she second job well working for her boss and her boss getting upset and trying to fire Amanda for it . Then that I would have no problem with because Amanda broke a rule but thats not the case. So yea that has added a little bet of stress on the clan. Put are house buying back a little bit. Not sure now when we are going to buy a house. We had to spend the money that we saved for the down payments on the loans we were applying for so we could stay in the apartment we're renting. Thats how bad her hours got cut. She was getting 38 hours and we made way more then we needed to make the monthly payments
down to 15, 20 if shes lucky. And it was done so that it would not mess up Amanda's second job. Thats what her boss said.Amanda never even asked for it. Amanda tried to tell her boss after this first happened that it did not matter because her second job did not start intill she signed out of her first job. Its a job were you can work when ever you fell like. It's like Avon. Just not the same products. But that still didn't fix it. We're waiting on some news from people higher up in Pure Romance before we try to make a move. O and the kids are sick again. When Juan started school it seems like theres some new cold he brings home ever week lol So beside the B.S. from Amanda's work, the kids being sick, my pain, my little friends in my head ,being broke o and my mother had a breast cancer scare,shes just fine just a lump nothing cancerous, life is going pretty well biggrin.gif. Still loving highlander, northern woods and Celtic moon. Thanks again people of These wonderful stations, when I am stressed way out I listen to one of these stations mostly Celtic moon and I mellow out so thanks again. beer_mug.gif
