Update:-)
« on: October 04, 2011, 10:12:11 PM »
Many of you know, that a while back, I got hooked on nicitine! It was by far one of the hardest habbits, I could have ever imagine to have to break! OMG! (I tell you this though, without my husbands help, I couldn't have done it!)I just never realized how badly hooked I was with it! But, it's been a few weeks, I still have the urge, but, no way, I'm going through the first week of headaches again!! So not worth it! First week was Miserable!! But after a few weeks, it got easier, and less "stressful."
In other news  ;D On Nov. 9th, my husband and I are going to Jefferson City, Missouri, soooo....I can take three different tests in order to become a corrections officer! Our landlord, she and I have been talking and she said that the tests are super easy not to worry, and she's basicly been giving me a walk through. So, fingers crossed for Nov. 9th!! She said it took her 6 months to get in. I accomplished getting my cdl class b liscense to drive the school bus, I know for a fact I can do this! In order to get ready, the family and myself have been walking(me running half of it)the football field track in the evenings! Time to step up my game!  ;D

I smoked about 15 years, I quit in 1985, yep it was rough, I use to smoke or at least light up 3 packs a day back than, kept one burning all the time. It was not easy but with God i quit cold turkey and Lord how I am so so thankful I quit when I did.  Wasn't long I could not even stand to smell one or smell someones clothes or be anywhere near them, today if I so much as smell one I cannot breathe. I call them
'death sticks' now for sure they kill and destroy your life.  I never have the desire for one, maybe the first year I was still tempted at times to pick them up again but that soon left and never have ever wanted one again.

@Umpa, I know what you mean! I can't stand the smell of smoke! Now I understand what second hand smoke is all about! I never used to think it was that big a deal.

Hi Stephanie! :)

Smoking stinks!!!... PERIOD!
I too could not have quit without my wife quitting with me.
And, yes... We ex-smokers did smell that bad!

You'll do great on your exam.
I pray they will be able to place you into a position soon!
What you do today is what matters!
