Strugglin'

August 1, 2009 — Damn cigarettes anyway! I am just not having any success at givin' up the nasty habit of smoking. You ever hear the expression "you couldn't do (something) if your life depended on it." Well mine does and so does everyone else that smokes. There are tremendous physiological and psychological forces going on for someone that smokes. It has been my experience in the past that the physiological issues are fairly easy to get through. The "head" stuff is another matter. I think I just need to sit down and really spend some time in thinking through all of the good things I will be gaining when I do quit smoking. Of all my health problems going on right now probably the most serious and immediate is clogged arteries in my heart. Smoking is no doubt the #1 cause of the problems I am having there. Well dummy, you'd better quit smoking or it's never going to get better...only worse.

Wanda is going to her Dr on the 5th of this month and one of the things she plans on discussing with her is to quit smoking. She wants to try Wellbutrin and hopefully her Dr will concur. Maybe with the both of us working at this together we will find success in mutual support. We are working on a lot of things together and having a great time doing so...it's what really matters!
