So I've finally given in to all of my moms bit-...uh.....helpful encouragement and quitting my smoking. Unfortunately this also coincides with with a special diet my doctor has given me, effectively banning me from most sweets, sodas, fried foods, and burgers. At least that is if I don't want to suffer agonizing chest pains and indigestion. You think when something is partially caused by stress the last thing you would want to do is raise your stress level..... *crumples* I want a cigarette.

I know this is difficult, but we're all here for you! My brother-in-law is battling a tongue/throat cancer caused by smoking. It tears my heart out thinking how much he is suffering right now when he should be enjoying his retirement and his grandkids. This is a wonderful thing you are doing for YOU and it will be worth it. Besides us, there is lots of help out there. Reach for it. *hugs and much encouragement!*

(Put all the $$ you normally spend on cigs in a jar and use it for a glorious new doll instead for a reward!)

On the plus side, it means you can't compensate for not smoking my over eating unhealthy stuff! (Sorry... )

If you want to give up, and you're doing this for you, you stand a good chance of making it. I'd definitely follow Kenaiqueen's suggestion about diverting cigarette money into doll funds And as she says, we're here for you. *hugs*

And I feel for you re the chest pains and indigestion - has your doc definitely ruled out other causes than diet? (I ask because I had a large and active colony of unhelpful bacteria causing ulcers, which caused acid, which caused heartburn, indigestion, chest pain, acid reflux etc etc and so on; and on top of that I just produce too much acid. Antibiotics dealt with the bacteria, and I'm on pills to reduce the acid. Which means I sleep most nights now - stress still triggers an over production, but normal off the shelf remedies knock it down to bearable)

Broke up with my boyfriend on Saturday after a year and a half of dating. I thought I would be alright, but I forgot how long the nights can be. Just a little sad.

Why did u break up?

[knittnkitten]

ug. I work full time, and my co-workers don't get why I don't want to work extra shifts on the floor. the floor is tiring work, and it would mean either working a 16 hour day, or using one of my two days off a week to work more. I don't think I could physically or emotionally take it. this job already makes me cry just trying to keep everything organized and scheduled, considering I don't have a dedicated computer or even a desk, and the best part is I literally can't get fired, because there is a hiring freeze and even hiring someone from in the health system has to go thru a committee.
seriously considering how badly I want to be a nurse, but its not like I have a terrible lot of career options at the moment.

Why did u break up?

Communication issues. We are long distance, and he had this awful habit of never texting, calling, sending/replying to emails etc. He didn't always used to be that way, but then something happened and I don't know. I just couldn't handle it anymore, but I still miss him. We were really close. He was the only person I could be completely myself around, so I feel a little lost now.

You should, with your doctor's approval, definitely try a nicotine delivery system. Gum, lozenges, patches, or e-cigs. It will help reduce the stress a lot.

So I decided to go to the knitting club, Stitch N' Bitch at lunch today, since my mom has been suggesting I go for the last couple of weeks. I go to the room where they're supposed to be, and what do I find? Nada. No one. I even checked twice to make sure I was at the right place! Now I'm sitting by myself in the cafe with my knitting stuff and my lunch, and no one to talk to. I was really hoping to meet some new people...

Minor sucks today:

Registered for classes today and am quite pleased that I have no classes before 11am. However, I also have no time for lunch. Not too bad on some days, but on Wednesday I have class from 11 to 5 with no breaks for food. *sigh* Might need to rework some things....
