Morning all,
Had a great time last night hanging out with my family, I invited them upstairs to my cave to just hang out and enjoy the freshly cleaned carpet and generally happy environment.

Started out playing guitar with my ex band mate and believe me it was excellent to finally enjoy playing guitar again and oh boy can we still compliment each other on those things!

Next my daughters boyfried showed up and I told him to come up and show me and my bud how to play and can that kid rip, he is extremely shy and socially awkward but I'm working on that by trying to include him in our family craziness as often as possible.

Then we watched a short video of the band, and I was completely blown away by my kids singing along with the songs we wrote! Amazing to say the least as they never showed any interest while the band was together.... Seeing the bass player "uncle Mike" who passed away two years ago was hard for all of us as he was a huge part of what we accomplished in the short time we had him..

After that we watched a family christmas video from 97 which featured fleeting images of all our deceased family and dogs, it was painfull for us but isn't memory lane often like that? Turning and seeing my wife and kids crying for the loved ones was prolly the hardest thing for me and I was having a tough time keeping it together and after more than a few tears of my own I had to shut it off....

Through it all, I wanted to smoke as it was a social occasion and after two beers it was almost unbearable but with the love and support from the family it was pretty easy to overcome, and we managed it quite well!

That's enough of the online diary, hope you all had as good a night as I did.....

I've been off the patch for a few weeks I think now CHL... so in that sense I'm doing good. :)

Yes... where is Danger?
Danger! Check in. And Catlady! Where are you?

:)

checking in. sorry i haven't been around much. very busy past few days.

glad to see everyone is still hanging in and doing well.

i am going thru some weird-ass detox or something. at first i thought i had a sinus infection, but it isn't acting all the way like that. i have been running fevers, no coughing, not really postnasal, but sinus headache like nobody's biznatch. also, more anxiety than usual and some depressive mood. started a mild AD and it's helping. i dunno... i still think this is part of the quitting smoking. body seems to be detoxing hardcore. hints of withdrawal going on here. can't really put my finger on it.

anyway, i think this is day 39 for me. losing count.

hope you guys are doing ok. my thoughts and prayers are for you all.

Day 35

Day 35

Checking in...

Yay catgirl!!!
Yay hawk!!!

Another day down.
:)

Today marks one week for me. I'm doing this thing cold turkey. Glad I only have a short 3.5 hour shift today. Little grumpy, way lazy. Nothing I can't handle. A bit weepy. Just had to tell
Someone that I was not up to having Valentines dinner this week. I'm not planning on celebrating it at all, as my SO just passed away in September, very unexpectedly. I had went out with this person several times, I was clear that I was only looking for friendship at this stage as I am still grieving my loss, but he fell hard for me and nice as he is....I am not there yet. Maybe never will be with this guy....so I had to turn down the dinner invite. It's OK. Everything will be OK.....
