A short work week for you working folks, my husband was pleased for the long wk end. He will still get up at 5 am even though he doesn't have to, 263 DOF for me at the end of the day l am getting closer each day to my next milestone which is 9 months, wow I never thought I could quit smoking for 9 hours let alone 9 months but I believe at least it's true for me, I was totally flabbergasted when I found out that I have copd and for me that was all I needed to be motivated to quit to keep from getting any worse and most likely to end up on oxygen and dying a very slow painful death fighting for each breath, no way could I continue to smoke so I decided my smoking days were over. I found this site and read everything I could find and did my first blog and wow you wonderful people welcomed me and helped me more than you will ever know and are still here for me. I was and still am and will continue to be willing to go through whatever may come my way as a non smoker because I will never ever knowingly and consiously buy a pk of cigarettes open them put one in my mouth and dig around for a match because I have no lighters in the house anymore and light that thing I stuck in my mouth then inhale it and most likely I would hork up a lung. Doesn't that sound totally crazy???-- after nearly 9 months of being an EX SMOKER, no way no how and for all of you new folks here stay strong you can do this you must be willing to go through whatever may come your way but believe me after smoking 40 yrs myself, if I can do it anybody can because quitting smoking is definitely doable. Have a great day everyone.

I'm a proud Gram of 2 grandsons and a granddaughter and I consider myself a jack of all trades and a master of none, plus I enjoy reading and being outside and since quitting smoking breathing is so much easier because I'm not coughing half of my time sucking on a cancer stick....
