Day's 11, 12, 13

Due to the increasing demand that I continue my blog, after a few day's hiatus, I am at the computer to let everyone know that yes, I am still listed among the non-smokers. I've just been so darn busy, that I didn't have time to write.
I had to reserve my hotel room for my trip I was on the last two days, and when I was talking to the clerk (they all know me there, as I stay there every few weeks), he had the room all booked and confirmed, and read back to me what I would have. It took me a moment to realize, "WAIT", I'm a non-smoker now, and don't need a smoking room!
Needless to say, yesterday & today were very trying on my Mental aspect.
My behind the wheel time is usually every other week, and involves me driving anywhere from 2-4 hours at a clip. Whenever I've made these trips, I've smoked endlessly to keep doing something while I drive. When I hit the freeway, it hit me before I even got to Venice. So, I took out one of my pens, and clicked away. I have a little calus on my thumb now, but I over came the mental urge!
Everyone I spoke to in my working, I was proud to say that the reason I was chewing gum this time wasn't to cover up the smell of smoke on my breath, but to keep my mind off of smoking.
Well, I start the fourth week tomorrow, and will get my prescription filled for the second month. I'm fairly confident that I can knock this out in two months, but will be ready for a third if necessary.
Shan's Dad arrived from Spokane sometime yesterday, but we haven't heard from him yet. I'm sure we will try to see him before this week's out.
Tomorrow, the mechanic is due to put my boat back together. We are getting real excited that soon we will be on the water again!
Ok, enough for tonight.

  1. We're home from Orlando, had a great time with Bryan and family. Glad to see that you are still smoke free, keeping fingers crossed that once again we will be a smoke free family. Doug is looking forward to the guys getting out on the boat for some fishing.
