Trying Again.

Hi - I've been not blogging much lately, because I have not kept my quit.  I am on day 1 today.  I have been tracking my cigarettes the last couple of days, and I'm ready to do this!  I start a quit smoking group here on Thursday as well as my Yoga classes again.  I am gradually learning what to do with my stress here.  It's a really good day to begin again as Brian is doing well this week.  I have felt like such a failure over this, but am taking positive steps now to begin fresh and keep quit.  I will also be here every day to blog and reach out for help.  I will be walking more and staying distracted to get through this.  I have a quit kit and will use it.  My mental health is good now and will follow up with an appointment with my therapist soon.  I am looking forward to doing this one day at a time.  Thanks to all the wonderful people here, I feel I have a great chance at succeeding with this as long as I don't get down on myself.  I have read here that quitting smoking can actually help you to feel better mentally speaking.  Thanks for listening, I will be listening for your advice and following your blogs daily!

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.
