Hello Moss

Hey QB...nice to hear from you.  No, I never did think that I would get to this point, and I to have those crazy moments where I think..I have to run and have a cig quick..then go..what the %&*^?  Crazy, but at least I can laugh at it.  I am sorry that you are around so many smokers, that has to drive you crazy.  You are a trooper and a real friend.  Get a new puter so you can IM...geez, get with it!!!

Better days are here

I can now say that the days seem more normal now and easier to get through.  "Cravings" are different than they used to be.  Its more a thought of "Geez a smoke would be good right now", but thats it.  I can't say that I don't miss them, but I am living life without them.
 
Moss....thanks for stopping in, hope all is well with you.
 

Day 5

Today is day 5, everything is doing pretty well.  I had my normal anxiety in the morning, but was less severe and didn't last as long.  I didn't sleep hardly at all last night, which usually is never a problem for me.  Maybe I am used to being more drugged up or something  Anyhow, going camping this weekend, so it should be nice and relaxing, just hope the bad weather stays away.

Day 4, still going...

Today is day 4 of my no med taking.  I wake up with anxiety and it lasts for about 4-5 hours, then starts to get better from there.  I seem to be able to redirect myself better today with deep breathing (which my buddy moss always tells me to do)  and positive self talt (like my buddy Jim tells me to do) and walking.  I really hope I can introduce some more excersie into my routine after work.  Soccer is done and our kitchen remodel is almost finished, so maybe there will be time to walk the dogs and bike ride again.  Summer in Wisconsin is so short, it is half over already and we have only been a few evening strolls.  This will be my goal.

Cutting down on medication

Today is day three of only taking Cymbalta and none of my other three medications that I used to take with it.  It has been rough at some points, but I am making it work.
