Just wanted to let everyone know that me and Bri had two good days, Monday and Tuesday.  I'm not smoking or drinking and I'm starting to feel better about myself.  Yesterday was the first day he was actually in a good mood in the morning.  He had a good day yesterday and I hoisted his heavy wheelchair into the trunk of the car, and in spite of snow, we were off to dinner out.  We haven't been able to get out to do that in two months.  It was lovely.  Days like those are to be remembered to help get through some of the tougher ones ahead.  Today I'm planning on going out to do some Christmas shopping and enjoy being out for an hour or so.  We went to see his surgeon on Monday, and his x-ray looked good.  Still no weight bearing for six more weeks.  We go back Dec. 18th.

Looking forward to a smoke and alcohol free Christmas, and I don't miss the alcohol one bit, but do miss the cigs sometimes.  This morning has been a good one with no cravings so far.  I know cigarettes go hand in hand with alcohol, and if I would have one or the other I'd be back at square one again.  Thank you to my EX family for always being so kind and patient with me.  Things to hold onto are the good days, and to just let the bad ones go.

Ever day on this earth is a blessing good or bad and I'm learning to see that.  Hope everyone has a wonderful smoke free day!

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.
