The start of day 5.

This morning, I had such a bad coughing fit.  I finally cleared my lungs.  I guess my lungs are healing???

I had a smoking dream before I woke up.  I am craving badly this morning in spite of all the coughing.

In 5 minutes I will be on my way to my parents for coffee and a breakfast sandwich.  Good, that will keep my mind and body busy for a few hours.  Trying to be vigilant, and believe it gets better, and as Carl said in one of his blogs,

to push through it!!  Will let you know how the day goes.

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.
