Look on the positive side, you get to X another day off.

BTW, stress is a factor also in skewing the #'s on the blood tests.

I think I picked the wrong month to practice quitting.

And then again maybe not. Hang in there you're doing great. Just b'slap the next person who walks in the office. You'll feel better.

Oh my god!! Then I'll need a new job!!

Hi Brenda, hang in there baby!

Remember in times gone by, people used to die of "natural causes." Well we don't have natural causes anymore, everything has a name. We all die from something sooner or later. My motto? "I'm going to live forever or die trying!" Do anything you can do to delay your demise. But rest assured that the medicos will find a way to point out that you're at fault for dying, takes the blame off of them! Hahahahaha!

It's all about feeling as good as you can for as long as possible. I can tell you for sure that you feel better and more capable NOT smoking. And you ARE.

Quitting adds stress which makes it harder so initially (your still in the early stages,) everything seems more difficult. Makes your tolerance for BS even lower doesn't it?!!!

Well you have got the worst behind you now so please don't go backwards.

Is this why I want to pull the hair out of my German Sheperd??

Hahaha.......... how does your head look right about now?

Some, albeit harsh, incentive ~

That is a sobering pix Lizzie

Yeah, it is,,,

the patch made me SICK. i did it for 4 days, my BP was sky high, i was throwing up, my pulse was 175, i was cranky, ok that wasn't the patchs fault... the DR took me off it. the Dr is going to try to fix the dosage. i haven't given up yet on quitting

Where there is the will, you will find a way that works for you Carl. Hang in there.
Hell, I did it, any fool can do it! Hahaha

How much did you smoke and what stage patch did you start with?

Good point Phil.

If you put on the stronger patch and continue to smoke you will OD on nicotine!
