| Hi Friends!
Day 53 today, or their abouts anyway. I often loose count of what Day I'm on.
I went to see the doc the other day about my finger which I'd broken 53 days ago as it's still numb. He gave me some Viatmin B12 injections.
I'm vaugly remember that us alcoholics put a high demand on the Vitamine B12. Plus when we were active we probably didn't keep a good diet so no wonder we have vitamine deffciencies. I believe B12 is neccesary for nerves to heal and it's also essential to memory. No wonder my memory hasn't been to good in the past 6 months or so.
I bought a product in the pharmacy today. It's called Smoke Out. I don't know what it's retailed as in other countrys (I live in Italy remember). It cost about $30 USD and it's a mint flavoured spray you spray on your tounge every couple of hours, to stop you from smoking.
I was very skeptical about it. So I came home, spayed it in my mouth and lit a smoke. It really did work! My cigarette tastes so bad I was only able to take 3 drags before I had to put it out. It was disgusting!
The bad taste stays in your mouth for about 20 - 30 mins (It's now about an hour since I did that experiment, and I havn't tried to smoke since) during which you
really don't feel like smoking.
When I really put my mind to it I can stop smoking for 2 or 3 days at a time. Then I always say to myself "I'll have just one" and then it's done.
I was able to stop for about 7 years, but now it's about 2 years since I've started again.
As of tomorrow I'm really going to give it a try. I'll let you know how I get on. |
