JUST CHECKING IN

Thanks to all who have posted notes to me following my relapse on Sunday the 15th. Today I had a doctor's appointment and then went to mental health for an intake appointment. I am blessed as they had an opening on their caseload for me and my first counseling appointment is scheduled for Thursday, May 26th!! I am relieved. At this point, Benadryl is taking the edge off my anxiety. I am crossing my fingers that I won't need to take a prescription anti-anxiety agent, but if that's what I need, then I will agree. xox

About the Author

Prior to my first quitting on 8/25/2019, I was a heavy smoker for over 60 years. That time, I quit due to health concerns regarding clogged arteries to my brain. Tar deposits from cigarettes were making the situation worse. I had become a prime candidate for a stroke and required surgery to clean out my left carotid artery. I have relapsed 4X since that quit, the last one being on 05.15.2022. ( At one point in all of this madness, I had been quit for 1.5 years). Then on 9/7/2021 I began my recent eight month quit before my current relapse. I am in the process of planning a return to the non-smoking life. After more than 2 weeks of smoking, wheezing and coughing and being short of breath, I have set my new quit date of June 1, 2022 as the beginning of my forever quit. I am done with this madness!! God is good.
