1st day

Exhausted with a headache and stomache is torn up. Another 1st day of nicotine withdrawal. I will not smoke today, no giving in to this. I will try my best to just stay busy but will probably be doing a lot of running around in circles.

I have been blogging about how hard it has been getting over this copd flare-up in spite of increased prednisone. Haven't slept well in 2 weeks. Took a look at the clonidine my psychiatrist prescribed to help with smoking cessation. It actually causes breathing problems and sleeping problems. I usually stay on top of the prescriptions I get but I didn't with this one. Of course I have stopped taking it.

I'm sure I will be back later. N.O.P.E.

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.
