She got released from the spartan rehab center yesterday.

She is thankful to be out of that place. For the most part it was a bad experience.

The problem is the staff can't be everywhere at once so if you are unable to make it to the bathroom on your own, you take your chances.

She was supposed to be released last Saturday but Thursday she had an emergency (read Urgency) and staff was busy somewhere else. She took a bad fall in the bathroom and they delayed her release until yesterday.

The other problem is scheduling. Energy levels vary during everyone's day and often when you have the energy, the therapist is working with other people.

Someone was supposed to come teach Nancy and her daughter how to do the basic things so she wasn't stuck on the floor too weak to get up. They waited a number of hours to be released and the person who was supposed to teach her this showed up as they were going out the door. Nancy didn't have enough energy to go through the 20 minute instructional.

Anyway, she's happy to be home. Realistic and willing to rest and gain strength.

More soon

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.
