Quick check in

Just a quick check in today to let everybody know I haven’t disappeared! Got back in town to kind of a mess yesterday. My roommate is very sick and I ended up with him at the emergency room this morning. House is a mess and he has been trying to take care of the animals for three days while he’s been sick because he didn’t want to bother me🤦🏼‍♀️. It’s going to be a busy day but I will check in on everybody later. I hope everyone is doing well, especially the newbies who are just starting their quits! Keep the faith! You can do it!

My first order of business is to empty that nasty ashtray on the back patio. Ugh! I really wish I could get him to quit smoking too. I’m gonna keep trying!

Everybody have a great day!

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!!
