Never thought...

Sorry there weren't any pics of me from the "wig part", I was the one with the camera after all!!

I picked a horrible time to quit smoking. But I made the decision and I'm sticking with it. My father was admitted to the hospital this weekend with a bad case of the flu(my parents are both fairly heavy smokers). A pulmanary(sp?) specialist came to see him because he had a low oxygen level. When my Mother called to tell me on Saturday, the first thing I wanted to do was run out and buy some monsters!

Then I heard my mom say something I've never heard her say before,"I'm going to quit smoking, and so is your father". That quashed any thought I had about going to get a pack of smokes. I told her about me quitting, and the last time I had a monster, and some of the things Bear and I had talked about. I hope it helped her.

I then called my dad, he sounded pretty rough. I told him all the same things I told my mom, and he seemed a little more receptive. Except when he said,"It's too late for me to quit". I called bullshit!! It's never too late to quit, it's always too soon to start. Now I'm sounding like a fanatic.

I only purchased one pack last week. The last monster I had was at 4:30pm Friday February 3rd. THREE FRIGGIN' DAYS AGO!!!! Yeah, I'm stoked!!!!!

I've found that chewing on Starburst candies has helped, that and the patch I wear(but really, how much of that is mental). Antoher thing that didn't help much was the way my girls played this weekend, I coach junior's volleyball. They like to start EVERY game down by at least 4-6 points!!!
But I made it through that, and it should get easier. One thing....did you know you could drive a Toyota Tacoma without a monster? I didn't know that until this last weekend. They start and everything, even without lighting up a monster!! COOL!!!

Bear didn't keep me too long today, just enough to tell me I was on the right track and to keep diverting my attention, which is pretty easy for me to do!

One thing I did notice. When I woke up on Sunday morning, as I lay in bed getting ready to get up, I took a very deep breath. No big deal you say? I think it was.....I didn't cough!

NO monsters now for 3 days!!!!
