Inner Turmoil

This is crazy!!  I have so much inner turmoil about stopping cigarettes!!  I know I want to make this my last quit!!!

Somehow, I've got to sort this whole thing out and find a method that will work for me.  I know I have to find a new way to relax.  Yoga or meditation or deep breathing instead of smoking!!  I am and have been in a start/stop cycle.

I want to be successful this time.  I find depression rearing it's ugly head when I get a few days in.  I am already on an anti-depressant.

Does anyone have any advice for me on how to break this viscious cycle?  I am Bi-Polar but I know other people who have been successful in spite of that, so no excuses here.

Please help me keep this quit!

Thanks ever so much for listening to me.  No matter what happens I am in this to be smokefree forever.

Hugs to All and Thanks Again!

I'm a widow now, my husband passed away January 1, 2018 He died of COPD, and pre leukemia and the flu. He quit smoking 15 years ago which gave him extra time. I am a mother, and grandmother. I have smoked for 47 years. I am going to have my forever quit and I'm doing it for me and my two daughters so I can live longer and be with them. I like to read, swim, garden, crochet, paint and doodle. I also enjoy walking and visiting with friends and family. I am 100% making this my last quit. I have been in denial about what smoking has done to me and my kids. I must make a new life for myself and it doesn't include cigarettes. I may already have COPD, but have not been officially diagnosed.
