Hello, Thought I'd share!

Since my failed quit of 519 days, with a broken heart (self-inflicted) I got back on my quit the very next day and I am 92 days free now. I Think it should be a cake walk now, but some things have changed and I now live with a smoker (Brandy). He smokes outside but his stinkin' belongings are inside. Although hidden, so are tubes, tobacco, and a rolling machine So sometimes I think I would like to smoke (I really don't want too). I have found a new way to take my mind off smoking and keep my hands busy. It's a great hobby and cheap!

Walmart sell's enough beads (with some left over) for $3.98 for each necklace. I took my time, so it took about an hour and 1/2 to make each one. MarilynH‌ suggested that I use dental floss to string them, flexible, yet strong and won't break! Thank- You, Marilyn! So, I didn't think about smoking and I made something I'm  proud of!.   ~Terrie, still aboard my camel out here in NML~ One day at a time, baby! NOPE!

Have a great night!

Hello, I am a 59 year old female, name Terrie, still growing up. I have moderate COPD. I am an oxygen patient, currently not in need of the 24/7 or night time oxygen. Thanks to all the great support and education I got here on EX. My original quit date was 07/06/15 on day 519 I relapsed and started over in less than 24 hours. I want to go to the great beyond being a former smoker and I shall! COPD is not choosy! and not pretty! May 1rst, 2017 I am using Dale's suggestion to put off a cigarette each time and I am down from 50 to 20. I am looking forward to my old(7-6-2015)/new quit date 7-6-2017 May 4th, 2017 I started with Marlboro reds. Nicotine is a very assinine addiction. Once addicted I found I would smoke any of it including the little cigar/cigarettes, and it's still true since I threw away my quit and stopped being true to myself. I will smoke ANYTHING with nicotine in it to get the fix. I hate smoking! I am not having a problem stopping it's staying stopped, that I am not doing! I do not buy anything but regular tobacco but if caught without it I will do anything except vape to get the fix. UPDATE POSTED 04/24/2018: Getting ready to set a quit date and begin again :)
