7 weeks of breathing better

I was up early to take Scott to work. I needed the car to go to blood pressure clinic to check it after being off meds for 2-3 weeks.

I didn't have that feeling of wanting to kill him for his cigs this morning. I really love these days. I did a dangerous thing in stopping my patches early. I kept forgetting to change them and I was comfortable so I did the experiment of seeing how well I would do without them. I still had some in case of an emergency. Well after the 1st couple of days it was like going through hell week all over again but I didn't (I'm really hard headed) put a patch back on. I live on NOPE, I don't do that anymore and I never want to go through another hell week again. I don't believe I have another quit in me. I think today will be a good one. Or come hell or high water, I'll make it one.

So my friends in freedom, wishing all of you a very good Mon. if there is such a thing
