One Month Anniversary
Bet you thought that I was talking about my upcoming surgery. What I am talking about is the fact that I have not has a cigarette in a month. I started back in late January taking Welbutrin. After about a week I was down to 5 cigarettes aday. After three weeks I was down to one or two a day. Then on 2/18 I had my last one about 8pm. I thought that the cravings would be worst then they were. I continued taking the Welbutrin for about a week then I stopped taking that. I have only had about 4 or 5 real cravings, which I was able to get through. I did however put back on 4 pounds that I had lost. When I saw what was happening I buckled down and refocused my efforts. I started walking everyday. After a week and a half I am now up to 2.5 miles a night, and I feel good afterwards. It can only help post op with walking now. Tommorrow is my 6th month call with my Health Coach, which will complete my insurance issues. Then I look forward to the paper work being submitted and I hope to have a date by the end of April. Just to let you all know, althought I do not post much I do check the LOCKER ROOM everyday and have learned so much from you great bunch of guys. Thanks for everything, JIM
