The Love of my Life - The Stress of my Life.

Hello.  To all my EX friends, thanks for being here to listen to my story.

My husband whom I love dearly is a very sick man.  He has COPD and MDS.  We are hoping that he will be able to get a bone marrow transplant.  Quitting smoking has been as much of a roller coaster ride as his illnesses.  Every day seems to bring more stress for me because of him.  I am finding it so very hard to keep quit, but will start again today.  Smoking doesn't solve anything and I know this.  Our kids are coming in from another province with our grandson and I am determined not to be smoking anymore.  I am looking so forward to seeing them and spending some fun time together.  It will also be the support and  a break for me.

I will take this quit one day at a time, just as I do with my dear husband.  I know I have probably told you all this before, seems my mind wanders at times and I can't seem to remember things as good as I used to.

So - today I will let go and let God handle all this for me.

Thanks so much for reading my friends!

About the Author
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.
