Transfering my life to wordpress

I hadn’t realiased how many old posts I had. Currently I’ve transfered over 103 entries. I’ve even left smaller posts out. Entering posts on +smoking rants (back when I still smoked over 3 years now) has been interesting to read and remember how I used to be. I was so adamant about my right to [...]

The commonality of 9,300 cigarettes and $3K

Something that I started late in life was smoking. I did not smoke while in the Marines. I did not pick up the habit from my companions on the fishing boat in the middle of the Pribilof Islands (something they appreciated as I was the one to bring everyone coffee during the scheduled 10 min [...]

The Easy Way to Stop Smoking

I just read a book a friend gave to me last week when I told her about my quit date: The Easy Way to Stop Smoking. If you know someone who wants to really quit smoking then give them that book. It’s not a scare tactic book. It does not beat us over the head [...]

Day One

My stop smoking date is today. I think I’m doing well since my last smoke was 5pm yesterday. I really don’t have cravings. Mostly like a ‘hmm what should I do now’ thought. I meant to weigh myself this morning – Will have to do that tonight. I want to weigh myself once a week [...]

in training

I am in Portland for training the next few days. The drive from Seattle was nice. I hardly listened to any music and just stayed inside my head. Random thoughts clashed and gave me headaches but I made it here okay! And I didn’t smoke in the car!!!! My quit date is Friday. The medicine [...]

t- 11 days but who's counting?

I smoked over the weekend. But I only had 5 smokes vs the 15+ I usually smoke. It was hard, and every time I went on the stoop to smoke I felt guilty. I suppose that is good. Last week I left my smokes at work so I couldn’t smoke at home. It was weird [...]

fresh out of pain – just got a tattoo

I am the proud bearer of a Fullmetal Alchemist Homunculi tattoo which is an Ouroboros . It is on my right forearm and it looks just like this:       My last tattoo is an Ankh in the middle/lower back with some tribal flames around it, all black. At the time I either wanted that [...]

smoking

Something has changed over the last week regarding my husbands attitude towards me and smoking.  Saturday night we were at a party where a couple of my friends smoke. I’d go out & smoke with them every once in a while and he wouldn’t say anything about it. I ran out of cigarettes. Sunday I [...]

no more smoking at home?

Husband has stopped using me for an excuse that he smokes and has been quit for a week. He gives me little hints by leaving the nicorette gum on the counter but that’s about it. I think I’m doing good. For the last three years I don’t smoke after work and at home only on [...]

smoking rant

I smoke and can quit at any time (trust me on this). The problem is – I don’t want to quit! It seems that everyone I know who smokes is quitting and is now getting on my case to join the band wagon. This is my addiction of choice please let me have it. I [...]
