One week Won!

[constanceclum]

Today is the first day I have felt human. Not so exhausted and more clear headed/ I'm working now on quitting the lozenges. I've only been using 4-5/day but it's with the patch to get through the trigger times like after meals and in the morning. Also in the morning while I wait for the patch to start working. I haven't had one this morning as the cravings were pretty mild and I don't want to just switch addictions. It scares me because I like the way they taste.

I am so sorry to hear about your good friend Betty. It's devistating news! Of course I feel bad for her, we always hope (I would imagine) after we quit smoking, that we won't be affected with a smoking related disease or pass on because of one. But my heart really goes out to all of you that know and love her. I'm thinking I would like to dedicate my quit to her. It will keep me more accountable and also honor her contribution to EX.

In AA we frequently know people who die from the addiction. It is said that some die so others can live. I feel certain that Betty's contributions have helped many people conquer their nicotine addiction.

I hope I'm not speaking out of turn because I really didn't get to know her and I am praying for a miracle for her. We know that miracles occur all the time but my heart is breaking for all of you.
