Update: Brian and me.

Thank you for your prayers.  Brian is doing a wee bit better but still exhausted.  Today and tomorrow are sleeping days for him so hoping his two appointments Monday go well.  I am still smoke and alcohol free here today.  I have some wicked thoughts about going back, but it's just my mind playing tricks on me.  I like the new me, and I'm really too busy to be outside sucking on a cancer stick.  Love having the extra time on the computer and feeling good about myself for a change.  Praying for him to stick around with me for at least another year.  I am going to talk to the social worker next week at cancer care for some advise on how to deal with my feelings in regards to his severe illness.

I think she will be able to give me some good feedback.

Loving you all, thank you to my EX family for being so good to me and us, and so supportive.

I am resorting to chocolate now instead of cigarettes and alcohol.  It's my new treat.

xoxo

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.
