Hey there Rog, Tony, Vicki, Jan, Allswell, Mylife and Grateful!! Allswell and Mylife - great to see you here again - I do hope that you will both stay - we aren't all always sick! really! And usually Ruby is around too - not sure why she isn't here, but it is nice seeing you here.
Vicki - way to go on your success with cigs and AL - wonderful - I am so proud of you! And you should be proud of you too! Rog - LOL re the Rooster! Jan - glad that the Theraflu helped you get some rest - I just have to look at something that makes one drowsy and I am asleep!! And then I am groggy for two days so I never take anything like that. OIL OF OREGANO - Magic Stuff!! Yucky but Magic. Oh and seeing as I napped yesterday away, yes I do have ironing today - have work this week so must have clothes ready - hate to be looking in the mornings - must have stuff ready! can I send it to you (the ironing) (with Hobnobs??)

Grateful - did you get the storms yet? i need to check my map one of these days and see where everyone is!! But I thought they were coming your way. Our temps are back down in the cold range! Very cold in fact although not as cold as RC - I am in fine waffling form today boys and girls aren't I? I have got spuds on the cooker in one pan and stuff for a veggie shepherds pie in another. Yum and I am thinking of making some mince pies. Even more yum. thing is, I am not very good at leaving them alone when i have made them - oh well, I need to gain a few pounds anyway.

And so dear friends - WHERE IS RUBY ?? I am going to get going. will be back later.

Much love and many hugs to all,

love, Sun XXX

Jan-have a great dinner at your Nana's. Don't you love listening to Joyce in the car? She makes my drive go so much faster and I am learning so much. How far do you have to drive now to work? I don't have Ruby's phone # or I would call her...I always hate asking for anyone's number....I guess all they could say is no, right? Sunny-you are full of energy today. I hope that means that you are feeling better! I'm glad that Ben & Maggie are getting along. Our cats & dogs are our alarm clock too - every single day even on weekends! IAD-glad to see you checked in with us...hope you had a happy New Year with your family. Vicki-I hope you are having a relaxing Sunday with your hubby. It was so good talking with you last night and I'm really glad that you and your family survived those tornadoes! I'm working on bank statements....or supposed to be...:H

RC-I miss you! I got some apple cider vinegar for Christmas....now I forget how much to take!

Ruby-I hope you are okay....I don't know if you realize how very important you are to so many of us here and how much we admire you and look forward to your posts. Personally, I learn from you. You are so very wise and always give great advice to me. :h

I am staying in bed and passing on dinner. We go every Sunday, so I dont feel bad. I am just whipped and need to rest for work tomorrow. Why is it when our men are sick the world has to stop for them, but when we get sick we get ignored. Hubs is in shower and I am annoyed with him for making me feel guilty. I think I should go dump a glass of cold water on his head!!
I am going to watch an old Laurence Olivier and Vivian Leigh movie....wasn;t she an alcoholic??? need to google that one.
Vicks...just took a mucinex....let the coughing begin
hope everyone has a nice sober Sunday evening...

Oh, Jan. You are so sweet. It's only by the grace of God and my wonderful support team here. Please don't feel guilty about staying home....your body is telling you that you need rest - especially since you have to work tomorrow. I'm sure your Nana (is she your mother-in-law?) will understand and your men will get over it. After all, you are bringing home the bacon these days!! Biz-it's really nice seeing you post here...this will be your year! We are having our pork & saurkraut today....a day late, but nonetheless, good luck for the new year, right?

Oh dear - I knew there was a reason I shouldn't make mince pies. I just cannot leave them alone. I say I will just have one and before I know it I have eaten four. And I want MORE. they are just SOOO Yummy!!! Warm, straight from the oven, with that yummy flakey pastry made with icing sugar and egg yolks and butter, and then the really good veggie mincemeat filling, topped off with coolwhip - or devon cream if I can get some, oh I am all-but drooling! I have had four but I want MORE. Should I post on the Need Help ASAP Section do you think? With the amount of sugar and fat I am taking in I am going to feel so hung over tomorrow! But I am going to have one more - JUST one I promise! I will be back later. I won't let you down.....

Hugs, Sun xxx

Hey, family. It has been almost 48 hours since I have had a cigerrette and I am having TERRIBLE WITHDRAWALS right now. I'm shaking all over because my body, not my mind, wants a dang cigerette. OMG, I smoked 2 packs a day most of my life and to just quit is horrible! I will call Ruby in the morning. I got a pm from her last week and she said she was feeling better so I don't know where she is. Roger, will you call her, too? She loves you to death! Kelly, I am so proud of you and greatful for all the love and encouragement you give to me. I LOVE your avatar!! Please let me know where you found it. I feel so guilty being in here, Paul is not drinking so I feel like I need to be in there watching the tv with him, not saying a word to each other. I don't know what he is going through, he refuses to talk about it. So I'm just trying to be there physically, so he won't feel all alone. I just had to post, and I feel better now, so sorry for all the complaining. I love you all, Vicki

Vicki - I am sorry you are feeling so bad - I wish there were some words of wisdom that I could give you, but the only thing that works when one quits smoking, is time. You can try deep breathing - as if you are puffing on a cig - sometimes that can help, as it can be that your body is missing the deeper breathing that your system is used to. When I have quit, sometimes that has helped. Or try the relaxation tapes too - that might help calm you down. Sorry I can't be of any more help than that - if it was me, I think I would go to bed, which is where I am off to now, feeling rather slightly sick.

Sleep tight my dear friend, and hopefully you will feel better in the morning,

love and hugs to you,

Sun xx

Hi,
I am new to this site and just met tirgs in a chat room. He encouraged me to join this thread. This is my second AF day. My NYR was to stop drinking like a fish. I can't remember the last time I was AF.
Should I have chosen "go advanced" instead of "post quick reply"?

Welcome Guest to My Way Out Forums.
