'Morning,
Well Audrey it is exactly what I'm doing - holding on to my quit.. If I lose that than I've lost everything.
Julie.. I haven't turned up the music loud in a very long time! I used to do that many years ago and dance my heart out in my livingroom.. It's time to do that again! Great idea :) Thanks sweetie! My lunch with my girlfriend is this Friday - so many postponements with a lot of people due to weather/illness etc but always rescheduling to be sure to see friends. I checked my cupboards this a.m. and found some old dishes and boy do I have plans for them! :eg:
Freedom my husband suffers from every ailment which is diabetes related.. briefly, leg amputation, extensive cardiovascular disease, kidney failure (on dialysis daily), just suffered a major stroke Jan. 21st (in the past 2 yrs 2 mild strokes and a heart attack), going blind and so much more. In a nutshell it just keeps getting worse.. there is no magic pill for him to reverse or stop the disease :( Dr's have said he is a ticking time bomb. I'm sorry that your mom went through what she did.. she sounds like a very strong and brave woman.
Legend.. stick with your quit, stand proud with your quit, celebrate your quit and before you know it you're stats will astound you !
Lynne.. I'd love to have your email address.. to talk about anything.. can never have enough friends.. Thank you :)
Well I'm feeling very special right now.. And through yesterday's and today's responses is what stopped me from running to the store to medicate myself with that horrible nicotine. I was feeling extremely desperate and you all came to my aid.. And for that I am so grateful!
Hubby is off to rehab - only has one more week left as they can only do so much for stroke victims as it's something which affected the brain - So since the weather is supposed to be quite beautiful I will be going out for a very long walk. I'm packing up my shoulder bag with munchies, water and the like and go on a long trek :)
Thanks again everyone.. *sigh* I'm giving it my best shot on my end.. Now I need to find solutions about the day to day grind. I just don't know how much more time I can endure being nurse/housekeeper/chief cook & bottle washer/financier/ etc etc etc.
One day at a time right?
Love
