I originally started this program 4 years ago. I would love to say I have not smoked in four years but that would be a lie. I certainly would not want to ever lie to you folks about anything. I am going to battle this addiction with everything I have this time. I am totally committed to being smoke free!
I went to the doctor and got the Bupropian and are on day 3 of taking the medication. My quit date is Monday the 14th of October. That gives me a week for the medication to be in my system. I quit once before when my children were young with Zyban and thought this would be a great way to go again.
Things have changed since I last checked in. My father died early in 2015 and Moms health and care are too much for me so she is now in a nursing home. I now have 3 grandsons and they are wonderful. My oldest grandson Ethan (8 years old) was over here two weeks ago and he was sitting on the sofa watching television. I said Ethan, I am going to go out to smoke I will be right back and he said Mimi, don't you think it would be great if I got 100 percent of your time instead of what i do get because of those nasty cigarettes? He and I talked further about it and he told me the negative health benefits etc. Of course I know those things...but an 8 year old is reminding me? How much longer am I going to ignore the obvious? Sunday will be the last day I hide behind a potentially fatal substance and I refuse to play roulette with cancer and emphysemia.
Thanks for listening and I look forward to the support once again.
