Entering No Man’s Land

2 15 291

Well it’s day 30 and I am officially ready to enter No Man’s Land. I have to admit that I’m a little nervous after everything I’ve heard and read. I think I’ve pretty well got the daily cravings at bay, except for certain times in the afternoon when they still seem to sneak up on me. But I’m praying that I get through the next 60-90 days without too many big bumps in the road. That’s been my downfall in the past (the big bumps), and I don’t want it to happen this time. I WON’T let it happen this time! Just letting everybody know that if I get into trouble I will be asking for HELP. And I know that you will all be there if I need you. I’d really like to hear from our buddy @JustinHoot99 to see how he is doing in NML and what tricks he has learned while there. Haven’t heard from him in a while but I know he was out of town on business. Probably with his frying pan!

Anyway, if anyone out there has advice for somebody entering NML, my ears are open! Thank you all!

About the Author

I am a 59 year old single female who loves animals, working in my yard and photography. I currently have 7 animals: 2 dogs, 3 cats and 2 parrots. I love the outdoors, especially the ocean, and like to get outside as often as possible. I became very sick In 2017 and I was diagnosed with Myofibrillar Myopathy, a rare form of muscular dystrophy, in 2018, and had two major spinal surgeries to correct neuromuscular scoliosis, which was causing a 75° curve in my lumbar spine, in 2019. I then had my left knee replaced in 2020 (my right one had been replaced in 2016). So I have been through a lot of surgeries in the last six years. Not to mention several that came before that. I am on a quest to get healthier and I’m currently on a weight loss journey to lose 55lbs, which I’ve already lost 40lbs. I want to quit smoking while I am on my weight loss program so that I don’t gain weight during the quit! I’ve quit smoking several times in my life for over 2 years, and one time for 10 years! This time I want to quit for good! I know I can do it! It is just going to take willpower and the right state of mind. I’m hoping that this program and support group can help me achieve that! From what I have seen so far of the group, I want to remain a long-term member, and be able to share my advice and story 10 years down the road! I am finding that helping others quit, helps me stay quit!!
