I won't lie, sometimes those cravings come on like a freight train, but I still fight with all I've got. So where have I been. went on that 90th day for routine surgical dressing change. That was 1 in the afternoon. I had developed a new problem  that concerned the doctor to a possible blood clot. My legs had swollen like balloons, would not bend and the pain was excruciating. They sent me to ER right away for several tests. Though I sat in ER for 5 hours before being seen and then another couple hours for tests and such. listen to Jake throw his little hissy fits, find no evidence of clot then got out of there by 1am. Slept most of the day which was our 36th wedding anniversary. Needless to say neither one of us was up to celebrating. The knowledge of 36 wonderful years was enough for both of us yesterday. Felling much better this morning after having slept with my feet propped up all night. Can you imagine all this with a cigarette in hand especially having to go outside with it. Be thankful all you who are new on getting quitting. You may have a tough time of it, but when you look back, you will see how much worse than quitting that smoking really was.

Gone but Not Forgotten. RIP - they leave a legacy of their quit journeys behind as road maps for future members, to prevent the pitfalls, provide the tools and show the hope and possibilities for success at overcoming this addiction at any age at any stage. I am a 62 year old suffering with moderate COPD. I have relapsed several times from my quit, but I will keep trying till I get it right! "Your mind controls your quit but you control your mind. Don't let your emotions spoil your quit!" Don't allow a stumble to be the end of the journey. The difference between a good day and a bad day is attitude!
