A New Approach

Hello - I just wanted to say I started therapy with a councilor on Wednesday of this week.  She is very helpful.  I have figured out a few things to do for comfort for myself when I'm stressed instead of smoking. Up until now I have kept failing at this.  I've done a ton of reading from the sites suggested and will do more.  Thanks so much to all of you for your support.  I will make time in my day to come here and reply to blogs and read other's pages.  I always try to bite off more than I can chew at one time, like dieting at the same time as quitting.  It doesn't work that way for me.  One thing at a time for me.........I can loose the weight later.  I will try and stay as positive as I can!  Thanks so much everyone!

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.
