Share your quitting journey
It's another gorgeous morning here in the Maritimes, we are going to break records on the temps getting up above 80 for so many consecutive days for the month of September. I am going to enjoy this weather while it lasts , life is good especially since quitting smoking after 40 yrs of smoking over a pk of cigarettes on a daily basis, actually my husband and I rolled our cigarettes because a pk of 25 here cost $11.50 and that's a generic brand. My husband quit smoking April 25th / 14 with the start of emphysema, I kept on smoking thinking I was just fine until my doctor set up a breathing test because he didn't like the sound of my lungs and I found out that I have mild copd so that made me decide my smoking days were numbered so I quit 430 days ago on July14th / 14. Quitting smoking is definitely doable, I tthink it's a mindset or at least it was for me. I found this site by fluke really and I thank God that I did find all of you because you literally kept me grounded in my early days, I promised myself that I would never pick up another cigarette as long as I live and I don't break promises to anyone including myself, I had some days in the beginning of my quit that if you looked at me the wrong way I could have ripped off your face or maybe I'd start crying my moods were all over the place but I kept reading blogs and comments on this site and I blogged whenever I felt like I was crawling out of my skin and you all helped me through it, stay strong and stay close because life is so much better being an EX SMOKER and I know that I am breathing alot better, I didn't want to continue smoking knowing that I might end up on oxygen and probably die a slow death that's more than likely smoking related. A few weeks of roller coaster ups and downs is so worth it to be living a life without cigarettes.
