My Mum

Many of the pharmaceutical companies have "help" for low income people, get the manufacturers info and CALL, don't e-mail, call their customer service line and ask about financial assistance. They'll send you a bunch of paperwork. Take that to your doctor and call Insurance and/or Medi-Care/Medi-caid for help....it's a three part system pharm/doc/insurance that has to be all done in a given order, but if you get that application, doc's help etc. the insurance may pick up the remainder. (We've had two meds that have req'd this type of help, [one was $5,300/mo!!!] and it took about 3 weeks, but got all approved) Hope that helps and... No problem, prayers are added to me list! Blessings of Peace, -
I have a June 2000 picture of Benny Andersson at Slotholms Castle, not far from my aunt and uncle's home in Kvicksund, Sweden, he was there ...waiting for the rest of Abba,...doing sound checks that day for a private concert later in the week, you can imagine my surprise when he saw my aunt and waved "Hej, hej Betty! Hur mar du?!!" (Hello hello Betty, how are you?) I'm not a fan, but amused myself watching the interaction between my aunt and him...I was not impressed with the limp handshake! Meh...those 80's things that just will not go away! But, their harmony as a group is something they should be proud of.

Well Friend, From one nicco-fien to another, absolutely the best of luck! Kay and I have been mulling this over for a couple of years and have made two unsuccessful attempts at quitting...but, DON'T let that dissuade you! Kay's smoked a pack/day chemically packed, burn like fuses Marlboro Lights® for over 30 years, and I've smoked 12-15 cigs of the "healthy", all natural, no chemical additive, roll my own, takes an hour and ten lights to smoke one, for the past 20 of going on 40 years of smoking. Fortunately our last chest x-ray and lung capacity tests show we're actually fairly healthy. We've both managed to cut down to 8-10 per day for her and 6-8 per day for me with noticeable effects...we're both on edge daily!...no j/k...actually there's been very little "health benefit" we've noticed other than she does not seem to have such a difficult time with her allergies. We both hate the smell of clothes/house, even with windows open year round and never directly around our cats and often I go outside for the stretch and "fresh", smoggy valley air. For us, the biggest motivator has been the expense of around $80/mo - her carton and ½ a month $60 and my RYO at roughly $20 and California is looking at yet another cigarette TAX increase. Now, that all the unjustified, negative crapola is out of the way, there is nothing but Will Power that will get you through it. This may be a good time to go to a pediatric clinic and pick up a good dose of flu...nothing like a cold or flu to help you quit and has been the only successful time I quit some 25 years ago, with a ten day flu. After 4 months being cigarette free, I made the mistake of going out for billiards (I thought it was safe and had been long enough) and a pitcher or two with some friends...no more than two breaks and three beers into the night..."Lemme have one of those, would'ya?" ...and I was back to a pack plus a day by the weekend. That was a Thursday night! We do know three people that have successfully quit using the patches and they all said the first week is the worst and do NOT kick yourself for "cheating" with a few cigs per day during that first week. All three did variations of 10-8-6-4-2-2-2-zero, especially first thing in a.m. and after dinner. Ron and Pam were the worse at 4 packs a day for him and 3 for her...I can't even imagine! Kay's ex died from 4+ packs/day for 15+ years. One of those electronic, water vapor cigarettes ($30-50 for a good one- don't waste the $20 on the cheap as no real "action") was how they all got the oral fixation and hands on something habit broken.... now two of them chew pens down until they have ink running down their chins...but they don't smoke! I also buy Peach flavor little cigars (Schwishers or Optimos) for chewing on, a pack of 5 lasts all month, (I cut them into quarters) but since I hate the smell, but love the taste, it gives the hands something to do and greatly lapses the time between smokes. You have my undying support and admiration for pulling this off, and have nothing but support here. For the "kids" is very chivalrous, but unless for yourself...well y'know all the psychology behind the message...and I take it that either the wife does not smoke or is quitting with you right? I should say 5 people above as is 2 couples and one bachelor and the couples quit together. And don't fail to recognize that moodiness is going to be heightened for a good couple of weeks and be prepared to apologize a lot!!! Our friend Eddie was saying "Sorry!" every other word, even when he didn't need to, but he thought he was 'reacting'! Nicotine is sincerely a worse addiction than heroin to kick, I know this from many sources. And what other "quitters" have routinely talked about is the "want" for years afterwards...so now that I've repeated probably everything your brochures are going to tell you, again I think you can count on everyone here for support! I'd join you in the effort but we're on our own program and it looks like the first of the year is our "quit" date...I'll be asking you for support come December, I'm sure! Blessings of Peace and most importantly.... ...you CAN do it!!!! edit: (mererdog-me no see italics, just regular here!)
