I have lost my quit again. 😞  It was my own fault.  I put the cigarette in my mouth and lit it.  Was doing ok until I took hubby to the ER during a blizzard on Tuesday.  Didn't smoke while he was there but did when I got home.  I was just feeling completely overwhelmed.  They kept him over night, and did the transfusions, thank goodness!  I must get real about this, it does not relieve my stress!!  I will begin again.  I will set a new quit date, and make it work, or by god, it will eat me up!

I would love to have a smoke free Christmas.  It's the gift I need at this point.  Smoking didn't change anything, it didn't make him better, it's the same situation day in day out here, for him and for me, I've gotta cope better!!

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.
