Well done Grumpy. One of my sisters gave up with the aid of Champix, but I have another sister and brother who have so far failed.
 
Colonoscopy next week.Only had sigs.in the past.Been offered sedation or entacort (gas & air) leaning toward the latter.Any thoughts peeps ????

All wins are Grumpys and Sandys tonight (today). Night night all.
 
Scottsma...I always tell the anesthesiologist they are doing their job well if I don't remember a thing!!

Grumpy1...so jealous of your determination...I am willing and practically desperate to try quitting again but afraid I'd enjoy the solitude of a jail cell all too much for the satisfaction of what would happen with the current Pred prescription I'm on and the satisfaction I'd get with releasing my frustrations on the not so bright people at my work.

There is this handy dandy thing here called laser therapy - you go you pay $377 including tax (so that is one month smokes for me) and you get lasered - you can claim it on your taxes under medical. I tried it once before years ago and it worked for 9 months no cravings no temper no weight gain no insanity but life happened and I caved to the temptation of the butt so because I'm going on methotrexate can't smoke so I thought now was as good as time as any - my next post may be from that jail cell - perhaps we can share?

Thanks to all for their good wishes and support I'm sure that I'll need it - except for 9 months 36 years ago and 9 months 4 years ago I have been smoking for 38 years - sad sad state of affairs.
 
Go for it grumpy. It's not easy but I wish you well.

Carol take the drugs, Stu is right! The last thing you want to feel is anything related to the colonoscopy procedure.

Drugs.....lots and lots of drugs - I was drugged but not enough to put me out - watched the whole thing. Didn't feel anything though had a remarkable surgeon and she used the pediatrics scope because I had had a previous blockage in 2 places - good drugs. Heard the air and gas hurts a lot - don't know though
 
Carol, the air and gas hurts if you are too shy to "let it go" like they tell you to after, but if you don't mind a chorus of toots in the room (non-smelly, all is cleaned out) it is fine and I think they get a better look. I vote the latter myself.
Grumpy, you can have the win for what you are doing. I'm doing much better, (thanks, lortab) Doug's car is going into the shop tomorrow. My sis who has had several addictions said it was by far the hardest to quit. But if she can do it, you can too!
I just wish I knew how to quit my addiction to food...
Take care!
 
It's cold, fires going and I'm looking forward to the weekend. When do you start prep?
 
start on 10th, scope both ends on 11th. no fire here, nice and warm weather. going back up the river on Friday for a few days.
 
Good afternoon friends.Lovely day here so off out for walkies before I settle down for the day.
I think I'll probably have sedation ,you get no prizes for being brave eh?(for my colonoscopy not for walking the dog haha ) Reminded me of when I had my hysterectomy.
When I was being discharged the doc told me,no bending,no heavy lifting and you can drive in 6wks.
Well , I was thrilled !!! 'cos I couldn't drive before my operation. Winning.

How's the No Smoking going ?
 
Still not but want to kill something - I think the difference this time is the steroid. I have to go carefully my mom lives with me and she has Alzheimer's and I scared her last night and if it comes to her or non smoking it will be her every time - so need to practice thinking calm and happy thoughts and it will all be good - control the Irish and Welsh temper - someone else's turn for the win think
 
Mood swings on Pred are unpredictable and unreasonable. Anger seems to be the hardest emotion to control. When people give me that look as if my head is about to fly off I know I need to take a walk or bath until I can calm down and become reasonable again. Stay with it, you can do this!! :ghug::ghug:

Talk about being hard on yourself,wow !!! :eek2:

If you can do this you can do anything.:ghug:
 
Well OK Sandy if that's what you want.

I hope you're feeling better today. Night night .

( My,don't the days fly by when you're enjoying yourself hahaha.)
 
Thanks Carol, I do want the win today. :biggrin:

I'm doing okay, but scared I might not be able to cheer very loud for our beloved Utes season opener home game tomorrow (have season tickets, of course). So I'm a little mad at the world.

Apparently there's been loads of it washed ashore down in the south.There's a photo.They think predators chased them in and they got stranded.

What a waste.:(
Good luck with your colonoscopy.I'm having one on the 5th.

It gives us something to talk about I suppose.:smile:
 
Oh....go ahead argue - I'll just laugh anyway - laughing is good for you, you know. Not yet normal but not homicidal at this point perhaps just a little nasty.

I have cigarettes and I know how to use them I just haven't had to yet - and yes my mother is still alive I haven't buried her in the back yard.
 
Good for you Grumpy! But today is a winning day for me - season opener for my favorite (American) college football team. I can't lose!
 
SandyUte said:
But they won't. We're highly favored.
And I still win.

Hi, Stu! How ya doing? I'm grumpy. (Sorry Grumpy.)
Click to expand...

Everyone can be grumpy. I just liked the Disney character - it wasn't originally a state of mind. I'm sorry your grumpy.

Last and nope your not winning anymore
 
(Grumpy) I like Grumpy too. And I won't be so grumpy once the #@?+ doctors adjust my #@?+ meds. But other than that, I don't have an excuse. I admire you for doing what your doing. You have an excuse, and you seem to be handling it well.
 
Bye, all, it's safe for the rest of the Looney bin to come out now, I've got to go get some things done before game time.
 
Yep that's because I'm in a room all by myself at the moment....then I get in a car and drive home by myself and yell at all the #$%^ing losers on the road that I want to take out with my bumper on the way and when I get home I spend my time counting to 9999 so that I don't yell at my mom and make her stress and make her Alzheimer's worse and make her cry and have to explain for the 9 millionth time that I had to quit because I have crohn's and explain the for 40millionth time what crohn's is and then explain why I am not currently on any meds other than steroids which make me want to seriously maim people and then I go hide in my office at home and then I go to bed and start over again - the only difference is when I was smoking I was much nicer - didn't feel the need to seriously maim people just lit up! Don't give me too much credit - I really don't want to be doing this - I would rather be walking on cut glass barefoot in December
 
Winning - again. It is a great cause - but it would be a better cause if it wasn't flavor of the week if it actually meant something other than hey look aren't I cool - I can dump ice on my head - again that is just my opinion
 
Got a docs appointment this P.M.
Blood pressure was through the roof when I had my assessment on Tues.It's come down a wee bit on my home machine and when I rang my readings in,they said it's ok to go ahead with colonoscopy, but to make an appt. with my G.P.to get it sorted.(I've been on bp pills for 15yrs) At first they said 15th Sept. but when I explained they said come in this PM. Winning

Okay, if it will keep your blood pressure in check you can have the win today! Get Better!
 
No that's OK.............Oh well go on then.hahaha

had bloods taken in case there is an underlying problem,but probably just anxiety.
I'm not aware of being anxious,but there you go.

Unless I'm being anxious by proxy for you lot.You'll do my head in.!!! Winning
 
QUOTE=El-ahrairah;810696]Getting annoyed. Hey, look! It's some dweeb doing the ice bucket challenge. [/QUOTE]

Did you hear about the idiot in the states that had his buddy drop 400 gal of water from his plane for the ice bucket challenge? No one thought that this was a bad idea? That someone would get hurt? The guy is in critical condition in the hospital - duh? :ybatty:
 
That's a little drastic - or stupid - or both

Idiot doing challenge - stupid - dropping 400 gallons of ice water stupid - both

Yep! Stupid is as stupid does

idiot doing challenge - "friend" flying plane and dropping water - both stupid

Nope - not a fundamentalist not uppity either. Just amazed that people can be so stupid and still be breathing. You know I meant the idiot that did the challenge right? that no comments were directed at you or what you responded? (should have been more specific I guess in my response - will correct that)

Your post says different. Or you may just be insecure in your religion.

And I'm amazed someone can be such an asshole and still breathing.

I apologize if I offended you - that was not my intention - I was not referring to you in either of those posts I was referring to the idiots doing the challenge.

I am neither an asshole or insecure in my religion - but thank you for your opinion.

Again, my sincere apology if I offended you that was never my intention.
 
Seems like once you decide to quit, it becomes the only thing you can think about, doesn't it???
 
Slept thru a lot of wins today, but I'm here to take over the win where it counts. I win. The end.
(And no, Stu, I don't think the Utes will have their best season this year, but thanks for asking. They are a good, solid team, tho. And be nice to Grumpy, who knows what she could do while quitting smoking.)
 
scotsma,I'm still working on the firewood.If your looking for something to do..just saying...and I win.:)
 
I've been in garden most of the day. Had outdoor fire going in my braizer / old laundry drum :)

Glad you're getting better slow progress is better than no progress and it will get better quicker.

Last again
 
By the way I quit smoking 34 years ago and had tried a few times unsuccessfully
I went to a Gp who did the acupuncture after a chat------- never smoked since
He said to keep away from smokers difficult at that time but if exposed to go back and he would repeat the acupuncture
Never happened still confirmed non smoker
Winning

forbidden fruit is the sweetest...so I heard.:) Winning!
 
Hello, I've had my nap, so here to have my Sunday evening win. Carol, how long are they having you not eat solids? I know there is a time difference and it is later there, but it sure seems long to me. Not to make you feel bad, because you want it done correctly, but I'm just wondering if it's done differently there. Hang in there. Everyone hang in there.
