I am Alive...

Just really busy and have so much to write that I feel like I have no time to write it all if that makes any sense at all.

I hurt my back last week (no idea how I hurt it just pinched a nerve while I was sleeping or something) so wasn't able to really sit at the computer at all and certainly wasn't going to go to work. My Doc gave me a prescription for a muscle relaxant and I basically spent most of the whole week laying on my couch and moaning. I can't take pain pills of any kind really as they all seem to make me sick to my stomach so it was mostly just a taking it easy and hoping it would eventually feel better. I tried to make an appointment with a local chiropractor but apparently they were all booked up for weeks in advance. Lot of good they are for someone who is actually really hurting.

Fortunately the taking it easy and muscle relaxants apparently did the trick as I do feel better though I still can't really sit in my work chair for more than an hour or so without it starting to hurt a bit.

Anyhow will try and write more at home about my actual non-smoking journey of the last week :)

Great to hear from you , Lakasha, and I'm sorry you've been dealing with back pain. I haven't ever really had to deal with it, but I've been around enough others that have that I understand how all encompassing it can be - I mean, your back is such a huge part of the body to not be feeling good.

Anyway, glad to hear you are still smoke-free and that your back is on the mend!

Sounds like you could use a chiropractor and some yoga. That's what always helps my back anyway. Hey, wanna do a link exchange? I've got a new blog called Quit Coping about coping without smoking. Tracee @ http://www.quitcoping.com
