Nancy's (Youngatheart) Shoulder Bone Is In A Bunch Of Pieces

JonesCarpeDiem
0 21 3

She's probably going to need a shoulder replacement. She's still at the hospital.

I'm recommending a bionic arm!

 

I'm home from surgery. (umbilical hernia) I'll probably rest the remainder of the day.

Please, no navel destroyer jokes. LOLOL

PS

There is no such thing as a slip. Nothing or no one can make you smoke except you.

Smoking is a choice. Get over the excuses.

Hello, My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit. HOW I QUIT I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started. When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
