(Te he he...did you catch my nice little play on words there? It's the small things in life that make me happy:)
How does the Nicotine-Craving Monster live without cigarettes? Well, lemme tell ya, it SUCKS. My husband, Paul, is quitting too. For the record, it is never advisable for someone to quit smoking when their spouse has pneumonia!!!!!
He is horrendously cranky this week, and I'm horribly sick. Combined, this translates to: (1) I ask for something, (2) he snaps at me, (3) I get pissed! (Or vice versa) The next thing I know we are approaching World War III, and a coughing fit hits me. I can't tell you how many times I've found myself curled up in the fetal position, stripped of the opportunity to give Paul the "telling off" of the century! We've gotten upset about things so trivial I can't even remember what they are.
Is Paul a horrible person? Nope. Am I the whiniest sick person on the planet right now? Nope. Will you be able to convince either of us that is actually true for at least 2 more weeks? ABSOLUTELY NOT!
I have alot of these coughing fits. Curling up in the fetal position really is the best way to ride them out. Sometimes they last for 5 minutes or more. And every single time one ends I think "Wow, that was AWFUL. I want a cigarette!!!!!". There ya go, people. The great thought processes of a Nicotine-Craving Monster! Obviously, I'm not giving in to the craving. I have no desire to end up in the hospital.
By the way, it's New Year's Eve! Wishing everyone a wonderful, prosperous, and blessed 2012! (I'm going to go cough and feel sorry for myself some more;)
Even though you don't want to hear it, hang in there. You know all the things folks say. Just know, you'll save money and then you can spend it on all the many wonderful things you do. Hugs
