Giving up multiple Vices all at one time?
I was injured in a car accident 3 years ago and due to the chronic neck pain I was taking Hydrocodone for 3 years daily. I actually took them during the day to get me through the long hours at the office along with muscle relaxers. Thank goodness my Cervical Fusion in March relieved the pain, pressure and dull ache I woke to everyday. I was finally able to eliminate the fog the medication caused and haven't had to take either medication for over two months.
Prior to my LB surgery I also gave up Nicorette gum which I had become very fond of for 18 months. Who knew it would be so easy to give up? What I missed was putting gum in my mouth so I switched to Sugar-free gum that suites me just fine.
And now on to my strongest vice, food. My Lapband is helping me but the head hunger can cleverly disguise itself as the real thing. With the other two vices I can just say no but of course with food it is always present, always tempting and rarely disappointing.
Here's to another day of fighting the beast.
