The Good News Thread

Well let's see...I woke up this morning, my family is alright I have a job, and this new girl I met is playing with my balls so I'm doing good.

I looked at this and thought you were doing ok, but it could be better.

Then last night something happened and I wanted to amended your good news thread with a personal thought

Well let's see...I woke up this morning and this new girl I met is playing with my balls, my family is alright with it as long as I have a job, so I'm doing good.

that does sound like a good day.

this seems approaching inappropriate and I feel dirty for partaking.

nonsense, as long as your doing good. And that is good news

I quit smoking. Its been 8 days, 20 hours, 42 minutes, and 9 seconds but whose counting?
Usually dont toot my own horn, but this is something i have been wanting to do for some time. It has been surprisingly easy so far. I keep expecting to go on a killing spree or atleast sit down and plan one to take the edge off.
Really great app available called "smoke free" that sort of helped me along.

You got this Punch. If you ever need some inspiration, apparently every year when spring rolls around hospitals get slammed with a bunch of people suffering from various smoker related diseases like COPD. Source: my dad who was in the hospital this spring with COPD related shortness of breath. On the bright side though, last week we just celebrated 6 months smoke free for him. If he can do that after 50 years of nonstop smoking I have no doubts you can too.

I hope your dad is feeling better. Does he take Symbicort? And thanks.

He's on various meds (which tbh I'm not totally sure the names of) but the big thing that helped him quit was a change in his mentality combined with the patch. His first hospital visit last year kinda woke him up about getting serious, he suffered a partial lung collapse along with the COPD diagnosis.

He did the first two stages of the patch but didn't even bother with the third because he reached the point where he wasn't even having cravings anymore. I think the change in mentality also helped because he had used the patch before without any luck, but once he got serious about it he was able to finally quit. Nowadays he can hang out with his smoker buddies while they're smoking and he still won't think twice about it.

Went to work this morning with a smile on my face that my coworkers say won't leave my face!After 31 years I now have four weeks left to retirement and to add to that my wife who will still be employed for another five years informed me that our health insurance will be 375$ less than what I had estimated.Plans are to take six to seven months off try to get healthy again and then find a job to help keep me from going crazy.
