We Quit Cigarettes

I love people watching!! Haha I like doing that at the mall too. Especially fun watching big groups or people going to the movies and trying to decide who the “alpha”/leader of the group is

Many years ago, I was an engineer for Disneyland Resort in Anaheim CA. 10 years of "people watching" People always seem to amaze me!

Well, I was just invited to assist at the local church food bank, so I have something to do today besides thinking of smoking. I will chat later. And hope I can catch up. This seems, a very active thread, and amazingly has no balut eggs!

It’s been around for almost 100 years haha

First park opened in the 50s.

Pretty much a staple/household name/icon at this point haha

I'm just checking to make sure Kiki is still living and not on the news for harming someone. Hope everyone is doing good with their quitting or thinking about quitting.

I'm off to lose myself in a book. It's cold and supposedly we are getting the dreadful S word later today I'm a hermit till it warms up

Again I am at a loss when it comes to playing catch up. Other than saying congrats on surviving another 24 hours, my burning question is how was the "sweet" hummus @Kiki ?

Hi Kiki! I'm 7 months free of smoking after a career of 37 years. I now have COPD. And depend on oxygen at night also 3 different inhaler meds. I watched most of my dad's side , including my dad at 64
suffer and die with lung cancer, emphysema, etc...the smoking Didn't matter until I couldn't breath, and got a cancer diagnosis myself. I convinced myself it was only breast cancer, so cigs didn't cause that!! Ohh whoaa!! the addiction!!
I have put them down and picked them back up atleast 10 times in the past 20 years. I've used the patch, gums, zyban, and chantix I've been on and off of a few times. Chantix worked for me along with the side effects of course. But it worked until I didn't let it!. I wasn't ready until last July to try again, before radiation began was my goal.
I smoked with chantix for the first three weeks and decided I'm finished stopping to buy them. Pay for gas at the pump. Oh ohh and the price went up another dollar a pack!! So, that helped! (The husband also stopped buying cigs and started a cigar a day habit) his deal, not mine! But better than 2 pks a day!
Im trying to change some behaviors a little at a time. Coffee and my evening beers I miss terribly! And that's ok. I'll enjoy a cup or a can again one day! For now, I drink alot of water, occasional soda. Fruit smoothies are my main morning "go to"
I'm learning to relax and not HAVE to be busy ALL of the time.
If you enjoy reading a good book, find a long one that you'll enjoy. I could babble on and on and on but I'll give it a rest here! Lol!
It will be ok. Good Thoughts and prayers go out to you!
Time to hang out with my girls!
