I realize smoking gives me nothing but cancer and all those other nasty things.  I'm trying to turn my life around and put a line in cement that says NO more smoking for me.  I have felt downright helpless with this addiction.  I have a lot of stress, my husband is very ill.  I have a lot of really, really bad memories that haunt me when I stop smoking.  I have a mental illness, I am shizo-affective, which is bi-polar and schizophrenia combined.  I keep taking medication but my phychiatrist hasn't helped me much with the quit process.

There have been a lot of wonderful people who have helped me here in my two 3 month quits.

I am really hoping that I'm not such a failure and can still quit for good.  I'm desperate to change this and stop smoking.

I have been to whyquit and quitsmoking online.  Please help, in any way that you can.  I want to be free from this disease.

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.
