Thank you so much for responding. The herbs so far seem to be subtle but I think they are helping me to feel generally well, but it's hard to say right now with all the other supplements I take. I do think that so far they make a difference as far as my digestive problems go. I did buy more Bu Zhong Yi Qi Wan, and thanks for the input on the other two tonics. I think I will continue to take the Invigorator Tea Pills for a time before trying the others.
As far as the smoking, I celebrate you for quitting. Lately, I've been trying to cut down on my smoking so I can save a little more money. Ultimately, I want to quit because like you said, it is a negative force in our lives. I, too, suffer from low energy and the smoking just amplifies the effect. I'm not counting how many smokes I have each day, but it is a lot less. My usual routine was to go out and sit on the porch every 45-60 minutes and smoke TWO in a row. Lately, I'm trying to smoke only ONE at a time because it doesn't sap my energy as much, and it means that I have to busy myself more with distractions. My mom just wants me to stop, and there are days when I get up and say, you know I'm going to try harder today. I think what I'm trying to do is lengthen the time that I am without a cigarette, doing other things without having a cigarette so I can get used to a routine like that. It's hard, but I think I have been half-hearted about it. I actually like to have a cigarette every once in a while, but I know this is a false security. I have to constantly remind myself that it's just a bad thing, and only leads to bad things.Thanks again for your posts. If I have any more questions, I will definitely contact you. Again, congrats on quitting!! It's a smart move for sure.
