I am doing really well on the 14mg patch. I have that "empty" feeling for a couple of hours in the morning. It is getting easy to just ignore it by getting, 1st thing with my coffee, on this site

I called a girlfriend and have made plans to go to church and an AA meeting with her. I have about 3 other friends that I haven't seen in a long time to call and make plans to go to meetings with. I expect to be back in pulm. rehab in a few weeks. In the mean time, I am walking around my apt. complex and doing my home exercizes diligently.

Where have I been for so long, isolating, chain smoking while my copd rapidly progresses,drinking? Get ready life, here I come. And it's all because of 1 decision to quit drinking so I could quit smoking due to reading all your blogs and comments, getting motivated and inspired and, of course, the grace of our Lord!

I'm 59 with severe COPD. I've decided I really want to live and I won't if I smoke. I have 4 grown boys, a grandson and granddaughter due on 9/10. Lots of reasons to live.
