Just Monkeyin’ Around
Not much to share, really… slept a lot over the past few days, etc. You know, blah blah blah, just like most days lately.
But there is one thing that makes me really, really happy, and for which I’m exceedingly proud of myself: I quit smoking!!! Yes, it finally took. Just thinking of the health stuff (I have COPD, the emphysema type, and pulmonary fibrosis, meaning I have BOTH obstructive and restrictive breathing problems)… well, I won’t recover, but I’ll get better at least a bit from both of those. That’s the most important thing. The thing that I will “feel” the most, though, is the extra $150 per month I’ll have in my pocket now since I won’t be buying cigarettes. God knows I need that!
So, well… I’ll just sit here, sit back and let the kudos come. Yes, my ego over finally being able to quit (it’s been a while now, by the way), well… my ego is HUGE over this, one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, aside from the continuing process of getting totally off of the morphine. (That continues, going well.)
So, well… tell me how proud of me you are. I mean it! I need all the kudos and affirmations I can get, and I’m not ashamed to admit it! Oh, and have a great day!
Congratulations!!! That is terrific news. A doctor told me once that quitting smoking is one of the hardest things you will ever do – so way to go!

Way to go! Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. You’ve done the best thing you can do for yourself by quitting smoking. $150 extra every month will be a lifesaver but most importantly, your health is going to improve. And just think, you won’t smell smoky anymore. I’m so proud of you Anon. You are doing an amazing job of making your health a number one priority. And, if you begin to feel betterphysically, it will affect you emotionally. Are you ready to live life? Live life!
