Andrew! I received so much CLARITY tonight! In the midst of all my urges to suck on lozenges and even smoke, i cut my consumption down to half the amount and received answers to questions I have been asking myself for years!! I have to tell you Andrew that reading your message to me last night jump started this new hope in me! In your quitting smoking Andrew, and writing about it you created a ripe effect of optimism and hope! I will continue to pray and sacrifice and ask so I can receive.... Receive even more clarity! I am not as anxious as I have been lately while I was consuming not gonna lie I went up to 10 lozenges a day instead of 6 because I was so desperate for answers and I needed the lozenges to help me through all of the DISCOMFOrt and unfamiliar ground. But today I sat through the discomfort mixed with the urges and cravings and I perservered!!! The prayers and sacrifice saw me through not the lozenges! It was the prayer and sacrifice that saw me through!!! Thank you Andrew! God bless us all!!!

Hey Kiddo

How are you this late night? Still sucking on those damn lozenges, I gather.

Me too, still sucking on those damn pouches.

When are we going to wise up?

Maybe never or until a bolt of lightning strikes us dead. Ha, ha.

Sleep well my dear,

Andrew

Please look at your PM today

Andrew...

Yes, I am still using the lozenges, sadly. Idk if I will ever give them up. I saw my doctor yesterday about it. I told her I was going through a lot emotionally. She told me to not worry about quitting at this time. So, I am going to be kind to myself and allow myself to continue using them until I am really ready to quit. I do hope that day will come. For now, I just have to do the best I can. Sorry for the late reply. I have just been preoccupied. Best to you!

No prob - Jerthie

We are both going through the mill on this darn thing. 

Who ever said I would be dealing this at this time in my life? Not me.....

Although we are not the same age the challenges are the same when it comes to our common problem and that is an addiction to nicotine. It is evil brought to us from the devil (the devil in disguise). We were promised so many enticing things by it, we were cool, risk-takers, unaware of the serious health risks, etc. A TOTAL lie, much like the Democratic party in ignoring the atrocities occurring at our border especially the human trafficking with innocent children subjected to rape and prostitution) I  grieve every night before I fall asleep (if I even get to sleep).  I feel that i have the weight of the wo

With all the ill's happening in the world, all we can do is pray for God to intervene. I'm not sure even he can make a difference.  I hope he can. 

Anyways, I am extremely busy these days. What with my autobiography and a new website, my time is extremely valuable. I have no time to even think of having a cig or drink.  Good deal!   

I hope you are faring well. Hang in there young lady. This old guy will do the same.

Dancin' in the hot tub tonight

Your time to quit will come and you alone will know when it is.  It's ok if you are not ready today.  One day, you will be.

Cheers!     

Hi Andrew, Jerthie,

I am please to see you are doing so well and have gotten so far. Keep it going!!

Hi Andrew,

Haven’t seen you for a bit so wanted to check in. How is everything?

For some reason I stopped getting notifications from the Forum about posts in my email a few weeks ago. It made it hard to keep track of things and see if someone had replied to me and hard to find a reply again. For some other unknown reason I got an email from Delphi yesterday to verify my email address. It said they were having a hard time sending notifications ( ) and needed me to verify my email. Well, now I am receiving notifications again! I give up trying to figure most of this kind of stuff out. At any rate, I feel more back in the loop now!

I read somewhere you are working on a book? That’s wonderful! What else have I missed?

Hope all is well and you are hanging in there!

Dance away!

How is it going Andrew?
