      29 months, that's awsome! I wish I was where you are. I'm amazed by everyone who has quit and stayed quit. I know it's a very hard thing to overcome. I'm glad you're feelin' great now and that you stayed away from them. Way to go!

    • Well Done

      From wantstolive August 14

      Dear Irisheyes3,
      I just read my friend the cigarette. Was up late looking for motivation while I puffed away. I was thinking how in the world do I make myself strong enough to try to quit again? That helped me so much! That is how I am going to view cigarettes from now on. Instead of being a pleasurable little reward for myself they will now be a discusting selfish nasty evil person and I think that will work. I e-mailed it to myself and plan to add some more discusting things to the list like the yellow tounge, cleaning out the discuting ash trays he leaves, how I have to paint the inside of my house because he keeps messing up the walls which won't come clean. Etc. Thanks! This was just what I needed. I will love my lungs and hate my lousey no good friend the cigarette.

    • Close Diabetes Type 2

      My husband just found out he has diabetes and it looks pretty bad for him. This has come on so fast and was a shock to us. He does not use the computer but I belong to DS and I thought I would join this community to maybe help me get through this with him.We have just learned how to give him shots of insulin 4 times a day. This is really scary. He also is now trying to quit smoking. I have been quit for almost 8 months now so hopfulyl he can do this.

      Treatments

      Insulin (Regular and NPH) Working / Worked
      To soon to tell
      Lantus Working / Worked

    • Open Back Pain

      I just saw my doctor today to go over my MRI results. It wasn't good.I was diagnosed with lumbar stenosis. He said my case is very severe. Here are my choices, live with it like I have been, get a shot that won't last too long or have surgery. Surgery scares me. I will be talking this over with my family and see what the best thing to do is. My back is sore and my leg and toes are numb. I join this group hoping to get some input from others who are suffering from the same thing.
