Here's to day 6!!!

I've had the ruptured disc, just not the surgery, so I understand the "shuffle", LOL.

I was talking to a customer at work last night (I wait tables) about quitting smoking and he and his wife were congratulating me. Turns out he has something to do with some kind of coalition in FL against tobacco? He told me, but I didn't quite catch what he said. Anyway, he asked for my e-mail address..he is going to send me occasional e-mails to encourage me to "stay quit" as he says that is the key..too many people will quit, but a few years down the road pick it back up.

I normally do not give out my e-mail address to anyone, but for some reason after talking to him he felt legit so I did, as we were having an entire conversation on quitting smoking and he obviously knew what he was talking about. I thought it was pretty cool that a stranger wanted to help me stay quit. He also had some pretty interesting statistics, that if I wasn't so tired I might have remembered

I haven't had much problem with the weight gain but I think it's because the meds I'm on for migraines cause lack of appetite. When I tried to quit before, I ate everything that wasn't nailed down, so I understand.

Hugs and prayers!

Amy
