Hello, I am working on day 8 of freedom today.  Last week was tough but you all pulled me through it.

Yesterday and today have been a lot better.  Talking with my councillor helps too.  I finally feel like I have a great chance at succeeding.  Before this I've always sabotaged my quits, but not any more!  I am giving myself permission to finally put this behind me one day at a time!  I am starting to believe in the new me.

It takes practice every day to learn new techniques and tools not to return to smoking.  I am getting there.

I realize that patience with myself is key.  I look forward to being smoke free for good this time.  No going back.

Thanks everyone for all your support.

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.
