Well on a HAPPIER note

I was going to wait till a week from monday to say something but my puter access will be limited. So, this coming monday will be

THREE WEEKS since I have had a smoke.. bigsmile

I think I've got a good chance of kicking the old habit. Chantix seems to be working well for me.

Yes, true. Thing is I've got my eye on just what I want to do with the money I will have saved. A cruise bigsmile

No way do I want to go back to paying over $30. in taxes every time you buy a carton.

Are you going with Carnival or do you know yet?

Well to tell you the truth. My doc recomended them to me too. She said that the success rate was way hih=gher than anything else. I did fill the Rx and my plan paid for almost all the price. I read all the paper work that came with the pills, explaining about possible side effects. I procrastenated (SP) but then I just said to myself to just start and see what happens.

Well what happened was that I stopped smoking and so far have had NO side effects bigsmile Oh I still get urges, but they're nothing I cant handle. I'm told that at this point my bodies dependency is over and the urges I'm getting are mental.

So all in all I'm doing great.

Betty, I"m not sure. I'm just going to wait a bit and see how long it will take me to gather the funds and then I'll decide on a line. However Carnival will be in the running - depending on time of year.

I still like NCl..really like the idea of freestyle.
On the other hand never tried a different cruise line.

Oh my goodness yes. I am eating more. It is one of the things you do to compensate for the hand-to-mouth motion that is no longer there. Now I am looking at lo-cal snax that actually taste good - LOL

I know ...i gained weight when I quit smoking that was over 20 years ago. Heres a little trick I did whenever I had the urge to smoke I brushed my teeth, I always hated the taste of food with toopaste or mouthwash.

Was I a heavy smoker - Yep - 3 1/2 pk a day

And like I say I still get urges. Usually at predictable times. When I first awoke, with my first cup of coffee and just as soon as I would get in the car etc. Nothing that I cant handle. I know that it is just my mind reminding me to light up. When I dont - I'm not climbing walls or anything like that. So I know its just a mental thing - not physical.
