Hello to everyone and I hope you are having a good smoke Free Friday and have a great weekend planned. We are having a crawfish boil here tomorrow so I'm sure it will be a busy day.

Went to the Dr today and I have to have my shoulder x-rayed so see if it is only arthritis. He said to not do anything such as lifting till we know for sure what is wrong. I have a cream to use 3 times daily  and hope it will ease the pain some.

If you are struggling with your quit, it will not last forever and it is so the worth for the freedom you gain. Always protect your quit no matter what. 

Love to all, 

Betty

Have a wonderful weekend, Betty, hope the shoulder turns into something that can be easily managed.  I can certainly relate to shoulder pain...I keep putting off shoulder replacements, have been doing it for years now.  I think my surgeon's office is a bit annoyed with me, oh well.

Getting older may make us wiser but it also makes us feel older ! My leg has been bothering me for two days now just sciatica !

I hope you feel better soon Betty!

I am so glad to be free of the ole Nic !

Haven't had the shoulder problems but I have bad knees.  Hope things go well with that. Isn't great that you are not adding to your medical issue by smoking..  way to go.

Enjoy your weekend Betty! Planning to mow the lawn this week end or maybe throw some seeds bombs out in the yard and call it a meadow!  I hope your shoulder feels better soon. Take care.

About the Author
Gone but Not Forgotten. RIP - they leave a legacy of their quit journeys behind as road maps for future members, to prevent the pitfalls, provide the tools and show the hope and possibilities for success at overcoming this addiction at any age at any stage. Mother, grandmother and great grandmother My name is Betty and I was born and raised in Kentucky where tobacco was a way of life. I started smoking full time by age 14. The first time I can remember smoking I was 9. I have been on the road to quitting for several years. I quit once for 6 weeks and then thought I would smoke just one. It only took a few weeks till I was smoking full time again. That is why remembering NOT ONE PUFF EVER is so important. It will never be just one puff or just one cigarette. Nicotine addiction doesn't work like that, it is an addiction, feed it and you become addicted. Here are a couple of links to reading materials that I recommend to ALL who would like to quit smoking: What to Expect in the First Four Months (by Jonescarp aka Dale): http://community.becomeanex.org/pg/blog/read/3713880/what-to-expect-in-the-first-four-months The "Easy Way to Stop Smoking" by Allen Carr.
