Lassie,
I have only one child...a boy 14, course HE thinks he's all grown Rolling Eyes

I am an ATM machine to him and btw. I have a money tree in my backyard! Wink I'm the sole provider to him as his father as skipped town, AGAIN and I'm all my son has. What that boils down to is yes I get all the love (um not sure what that is from a 14yo) BUT I GET ALL THE GRIEF AND BITCHING TOO! It gets hard, yes really hard, with school, friends, getting into trouble doing stupid crap-- so I can completely relate to you (well for the most part, you have more kids!).

But really would we trade it..? I think not. Smile Very Happy

Hang in there girl...you made it this far!

Hate to say it, but it's the male gender (please no one shoot me Cool ).

You all know I only have ONE child--when I comes home from work you'd think 5 kids were in here having a damn party!! Food crumbs, drink spills, book bags everywhere!! Even though I bitch...gosh what would I do without him. Crying or Very sad Mostly my fault cause I MOMMA'd him too much!! Confused But damn I have days when I wish I would come home to a smooth operation. Very Happy

Hope you feel better Lassie! Smile
Walgreens didn't have the filter thingy's so now I have to go to another one and hope they have them!! Take care all!

Surprised hi, lifeplyr you need a perscription from the dr for them.. they are NICOTROL INHALERS. like i said before , some insurances wont pay.thank god mine does. without ins. they are 155.00 !!! and ya need a few boxes to get thru this. but ya still need a script from the doc. i still havent smoked Wink and its still hard.. my dumb husband finally stopped smoking around me. also have to have valium for this... i have bad panic attacks and that help with the smoking. i just been trying to sleep as much as i can.. and alot of people cant do that... im home disabled due to cronic back pain and other stupid things. so i do get to do that if i need to. i stopped working when my boys were 3 and 4..now im like a recluse..if it doesnt include shopping i hate going anywhere.my skin is so messed up right now and i dont care if it sags to the floor . i start a whole new routine with lancome.i used so much acids that a moisterizer wont penitrate....i read to much on this skin product stuff. Shock back to basic cleansing and moisterizing. and thats it. screw all those acids.and peels..well gotta go.. they left me a sink full as usual... have a good one Wink

what filter things are you talking about ? the ones i have are perscription only. now if you want to pay the full price and you are saying walgreens dont carry them ? they should. all you need is something from the dr...but you'll be paying 155.00 .are there other inhalers that you know of ? try somewhere else besides walgreens. try walmart. or any pharmacy.if all fails.. then maybe you should get the lozenges and some straws. did ya try to start cutting down ? if not , i understand.. cuz it would piss me off not being able to find what im looking for. buy some old nasty pack that you hate and try smoking them. you can tell me to stick it..... i know what i went thru.im still bitchy with everyone.and im still sleeping.the sleeping has a lot to due with my pain meds though.i had such a pissy day with my mom and i cant believe i didnt smoke.. if i didnt smoke thru that one .. i think i did it. keep in touch.and keep looking for something that might work for ya. have a good one.

The filter things are OTC and help you cut down on the amount of nicotine you inhale. They reduce the amount of nicotine depending upon which filter you use. It's kinda like a step down approach--filter A for one week, filter B for 2 weeks, etc until you are inhaling practically nothing. It helps with withdrawls. I've used them in the past and they do help--me anyways. But darn it, I can't find them anywhere!! Mad Not sure what I'm gonna do now. I can't chew the gum because of TMJ. Right now I'm so mad I'm not even thinking about what to do. Mad Mad

Lassie you are doing a great job, I'm so proud of you Exclamation Exclamation Smile Smile Take care
