A couple of you are here on your first day of quitting smoking and I wanted to share with you about my rescue pack for quitting. I got myself a cooler ( a backpack or even a grocery sack will do) and in it I put things to do to keep my hands busy. I put yarn and crochet needles,  a word search book and a squeeze ball. To keep my mouth busy I put straws, suckers and hard candies. I give my pack attention every day. I also have color books and markers (they don't fit in my pack, put they are readily available. It's really fun! Just a suggestion, but hope it helps you along your way!

Gone but Not Forgotten. RIP - they leave a legacy of their quit journeys behind as road maps for future members, to prevent the pitfalls, provide the tools and show the hope and possibilities for success at overcoming this addiction at any age at any stage. I am a 62 year old suffering with moderate COPD. I have relapsed several times from my quit, but I will keep trying till I get it right! "Your mind controls your quit but you control your mind. Don't let your emotions spoil your quit!" Don't allow a stumble to be the end of the journey. The difference between a good day and a bad day is attitude!
