One Step at a Time - November 2012

Hi Everyone!

I hope everybody is recovering from their various mishaps! Mama - I'm glad your assistant is back, now you can relax and let her to do all the work. Unfortunately I AM the assistant so I get to deal with all the crap. LOL

Ok my friends, I have a confession to make. For some unknown reason I could not fight through my cig craving last night and I caved. I was in a bad mood and felt really depressed too so I went and bought a pack. I had 2 last night and 1 this morning. There went my 81 DAY smoke-free streak....BUT it's not over right? Keep on tryin'.... But lets face it, we all know I'm gonna finish the damn pack. :upset:

Well on that note, I hope you're all stronger than I was...I'm so pissed at myself!

Love ya'll!!!

K9

Thank you Mama!

Maybe "depressed" is too strong of a word...I think I was just in a bad mood, felt kinda down. My daughter was in a dance show last night and I wasnt even going to go to it...how bad is that? BUT I DID GO! They do 3 shows and I have a ticket for tomorrow so I figured it would be okay to not go to ALL the shows, then I felt bad for not wanting to go...oy vey now I'm just rambling. Long story short (too late) I feel much better today. Sierra does not know I caved, but I am not one to "hide" crap, so she'll have to deal with this one pack!

Enough about me. Let's hear more hairy fruit basket stories.

Hi, everyone:

K9: I admire all who have willpower but I don't have much, so I don't judge.. I keep nicotine gum in my purse when I get nicotine cravings though I don't even smoke! The other day after drinking too much glutamine (am I getting addicted to this stuff?!) that I felt some craving for nicotine gum. Alas, didn't have it. But maybe you could keep some in your purse?

Someone posted about addictive personality. That's me. I would take in / indulge in too much glutamine if I think it's helping me, too much macadamia nuts if they would help w weight loss, nicotine gum to help me concentrate, excessive work hours to make more money, MWO forum to help my drinking, enormous penis if it makes me laugh (among other things)...

Willpower? I need more of that!!!! Too bad they don't sell that in a pill form...

I was so pooped last Friday I almost blew off Clay's last football game of the year.
I loaded up on ice tea and ate and felt much better, so I went. I am glad, cause he kicked some serious ass.
I know how you feel and I am not a single mom...
love you baby girl
Beautiful Sierre will be fine...it's better than beer, right?

Thanks guys...I was so darn proud that I was once again "cured"...LOL - I swear I will kick the habit again...but is it bad to say that now I'm looking forward to the rest of the pack?

On a different note, my little beloved poochie is back on the meds, her skin is bad again, but it's amazing what $100 worth of medication can do. She's my million dollar dog...and she's worth it...I love my little Sandy (yes, like the Superstorm...LOL)

Hello Steppers.....

K9 - : Do not give up. Just like the alcohol....remember all the non-smoking days and pat yourself on the back for that. Then get up and try again. :l

Nurdl - thanks for answering my questions. I realized that I should have just PM'd you but I had already posted it. I have been on & off antabuse for a couple years. I tend to stop taking it after I get some AF time under my belt. I am trying to stick with it this time. But, these heart palpitations are really getting to me. I'm not positive that it's the antabuse causing it. They got much worse yesterday after I took my pill in the morning. So Oh well - just rambling here. I guess I will cut back to once a week and go from there.

Juja - glad you slept. Hope you feel better. You are missed when you are away......I need my daily laughs.

Ally - you don't smoke but you nave nicotine gum???

Mama - you take it easy today.

Fennel - is the bac helping you?

Zen - let us know what the Dr says.

Paula, Allswell, Sunbeam, Dottie and all the Steppers........big hugs and lots of love. :h

hope Hamish is ok
you should post a picture of your furbabies on this thread for all to see

I'm a proud fur parent and will be vewwy happy to oblige!!!

Here's one of Hamish from yesterday when he was zonked out from his meds... "Ma Balls! Look at 'em!" Excuse the quality, I used my phone to take it.



And here's a contemplative Dougal with JC and I in the background...



And here are both of them, taken earlier today?




Well! You ASKED to see pix!!!!!!

Mama? Hope you?re having a better day at work today? and that your assistant is earning her keep!!!

Juja? Glad you?re on the mend!

Niner? Sorry to hear you caved on the twaks? but all is not lost. I quit mid-March and I know it?s rough. Every now and again I get hit by a huge craving out of the blue. Unlike Ally, I reckon you should throw the pack out! Maybe go buy some nicotine gum. I have the gum for times of stress and cravings!

Nora? Sorry you?re still having problems with the palpitations. xx The ECG was fine, wasn?t it? I sometimes get a rapid heartbeat and I take a beta blocker on an ?as needed? basis?

Yoo Hoooo to the rest of the Steppers! *waves*

I?m orf for my knee appointment in a little bit? fingers crossed that I haven?t screwed it totally up by not going 3 months back. If I ever tell someone to get to the Doctor, tell me to eff off!!!

p.s. Has anyone else noticed that Mama has penises on the brain recently?!!! From Nelz?s ?Mario? thread?
