10 blogging weeks

Yesterday was a milestone - it was a full 10 weeks since I had a cigarette. Thank god for those Champix tablets. I am still holding out and its still relatviely painless. I have ebough tablets for another 12 days and then it is all up to me as the tablets must stop for a while.
Wednesday last week was another milestone- I achieved the remarkable age of 60- not bad for someone who had been smoking for over 45 years. I intend many more years in the future but dont ask me how many.
For those following this blog I am please to announce that my relationship with the couch on the back verandah has been reestablished. We are back together again albeit not quite as full on as it used to be. It must be working out OK as I am not hearing any complaints from the other party at all.
The next milstone will be the clock winding itself down to lass than 100 days before my beloved daughter needs to make a committment and go book her travel back to Oz. How much I am looking forward to it-oh so very much.

I AM FALLING DOWN

Not regarding my capacity to refuse a cigarette but to blog. I thought it about time as another week has passed without the taste of a durry. The pang does not go away, only yesterday I had to do some serious talking to myself to convince me that I did not want/need or desire a cigarette.I got over it OK. Maybe my body has started to realise that there is no nicotene in my system so it was calling out for something to happen. On Tuesday is will be 8 weeks so I am very encouraged by this.
I have a birthday coming up soon and for some people,its special to reach 60 but for me I treat it as another day. Its another day of life where I ponder how lucky I have been with with my health over the past 60 years. Nothing major, nothing really stopping me doing what I wanted to do, and certainly nothing which has been life threatening. If we have our health and we have our family, then we have everything.
