The Red Brick Times

Yeah, sure, it's blatant fishing for compliments, but- - - now that I've passed the two-month mark, I think I can assuredly announce that I HAVE QUIT SMOKING. Truly, the main reason for this post is to pass along encouragement to others who might be considering the same move. I woke up one day and said "My God, I've been smoking for THIRTY YEARS" I can't think of anything I LIKE to do going on for thirty years, let alone a disgusting and nasty habit. What worked for me? (Aside from the desire to quite, which is essential...) I used Zyban (Wellbutrin actually - smaller MG dosage), the patch, and a piece of information someone I was chatting with on the internet shared with me: "Did you know nicotine cravings only last eight seconds?" No, I didn't, and you know what? It's true. I figured I could do it 8 seconds at a time. And I did! If I can do it, ANYONE can do it. I have no willpower. (NO, you do NOT need another chocolate donu.....well, OK) Jim said "I'm really proud of you, Mom!" And I said "Yeah! Me too!"
