We Quit Cigarettes

Guess I need to see if Amazon has it! I will. Today. Thank you everyone for your concern. I'v been reading old post. I just found out it's been damn near a month‼‼‼ I'm so happy I'm crying! And I just poured the ALL DOWN THE SINK‼‼‼

Webby, amazing job!!!!! I can't even begin to say how proud I am of you. In your shoes, I probably would have had a drink or two. I'm not gonna lie, your willpower is greater than mine.

I bet our guys don't agree‼ They are not bad like most men.

Umm, I'm a guy, but at 78 low testosterone has tempered me somewhat - I still have the memories though.

You spoke about pouring out the alcohol and becoming emotional. About 90 days into sobriety I woke up crying - WTF - I come from a family that doesn't cry. Called a friend who was helping me on my journey, and he said, "Stop and think. You just lost your best friend who you thought you could always count on, but it was all a lie." You poured one of yours down the sink. Once again I applaud you.

Trust me in that it does get better. Yesterday outside the Amish market there was a group collecting donations for teen addiction. I stopped and talked to one of the kids when I made my donation. I shared my story, and he said, "Thanks you have no idea how much I needed that. I have only been clean for 49 days." Hope he makes it.

I kinda thought maybe it had something to do with their thinking equipment. Upper brain, lower brain kinda thing.

Location, location, location - that can be a major problem.

FYI the tastebuds on your tongue are slow to recover. Weeks to months to "really start to notice flavors". I learned this is like a bell curve on how long & how much one smoked over the years.

So generally speaking, what is the curve on getting my sense of smell back All the way?

Took one of the sick toddlers to the doctor today. He has some bronchial stuff going on, needs to get a chest Xray first thing next week. He got a new kind of cough medicine, hopefully it will start to clear him up a little.

I've noticed zero difference in taste.
Huge difference in smell.
