I am going to enjoy a day of relaxation and do as little as possible, my cold is pretty much over now thank goodness. It was a head cold which traveled into my chest and held on for six days, I remember my smoking days and how I would still go outside and light one of those cancer sticks up coughing, choking and nearly horking up a lung or maybe even both but that's the horrid addiction. I finally wised up and tossed the yakies ( cigarettes ) away after 40 yrs of slavery to the dreaded nicotine poison once I found out that I have mild copd and realized that I'm not invincible that if I didn't brighten up I was probably going to end up on oxygen 7 / 24 or even worse die a horrible death that's most likely smoking related, quitting smoking is absolutely difficult to say the least but it's also very doable but you must believe in yourself, be willing, determined and totally committed to succeed and you can and will be successful, I tried quitting many, many times but I know now that those attempts were only half hearted and only lasted a few months at best but once I got serious and found this site and read everything I could find I  found a wealth of information that helped strengthen my resolve to quit and remain quit and decided to stop playing Russian Roulette with my life, there's definitely life after cigarettes and it's within your grasp so hang on tight and continue to choose Freedom!

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....
