Iam over 3 yrs now , never imiagined more then 3 days . but it is doable 🙂 Just believe & fight it with everything you have . Trying to breathe when your lungs are so badly damaged is much more worse then the quit it self . I no , I struggled for a long time , Then i had no choice but to get the gift of life , ( new lungs ) by 37 i had emphysema 44 was copd and almost dead by 50 !
