SMOKING!!!!!

After 35 years I quit!!!! It was surprisingly easy. I used the nicorette lozenges and it was a breeze.

I knew I had to quit before my bypass surgery in December, but, found out last week my thyroid must be removed so it was like DO IT!!!

I went for my 5th surgeon appt on Thursday. One more and then we go for Approval. I had my gallbladder ultrasound done and like he said, we ain't gotta remove anything else. ha ha.

Still gotta have my EGD but am gonna wait until I am off for my thyroid since I don't want to miss much more work outside of the surgeries.

And, also, did I mention I QUIT SMOKING!!! I am so happy and proud of myself.

That's the worst part having smoke Blown in your face. By people that will tell you they have the right to smoke and you don't have the right to bitch about it. That's ok they won't be around much longer.

Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

Trying not to laugh but it's true. When I was a smoker I smoke in pravite area my basement is separated from the rest of the apartment. A corner of the back of where I worked. If kids walked by I move or blow another direction. I respect people space.

So happy for you! I quit cold turkey 6 years ago. I'm not going to lie, sometimes I crave one but as soon as I smell smoke I know I made the right choice! I can't even stand being around smoke, it is hard for me to believe that I ever smelt like that!

Keep up the good work!!

I am a Southern Bell transplanted in PA Dutch country and everything is pickled here.

At least they won't be able to tell it is me that has "that" smell.
