I hate being put on hold!

I had a sleep study scheduled for July 1,

They require a covid test 48 hours before.

They gave me a number to schedule the test and I called but my sleep study is not in their system so they can't schedule a covid test.

I've called the sleep study clinic 5 or 6 times the past two days to try and have them put my procedure in the system so I can set up the covid test and I always get put on hold or transferred and then, put on hold.

          I just called back, gave the operator my info and canceled my sleep study because I can't reach anyone to straighten this situation out.

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.
