Neither Youngatheart nor myself can do anything but sleep on our backs.

man was not made to be unadjustable in sleep.

Can't sit up long since my surgery. She can't use her right arm.

i can't play a guitar because it would lay right against the incision.

we are both so tired of taking the pain pills.

i think i slept 30 minutes all night

im hoping i don't need to take anymore percocet. i felt out of body from it and it stops your digestive system.

and it hurts to laugh, big time, belly laughs no good.

and it seems like Saturday and it doesn't even matter.

what can i do today?  duh???  maybe i'll just lay on my back!

used to feel humor-ass now just  sadder-ass

nancy too..life's black and blue

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.
