I am spending this 2 weeks prior to my quit date cutting back to less than 1/2 pack a day and it isn't that hard. I have copd which makes me short of breath even with walking. I am looking forward to meeting people and getting support from become an ex. I am 55 years old and have 42 years of being a heavy smoker in spite of having a history as an R.N. I have 4 sons who all smoke and I want to be a good example to them and let them know it is possible to quit. My husband smokes which makes it a challenge but I am still feeling confident. Anyway I expect to be here at least a couple of times a day checking out people, blogs and groups and I am so grateful
