Smoking kills and it doesn't matter who you are or where you live it's bound to catch up with you at some point I am one of those people that figured that I'd never quit smoking let alone stick with it BUT finding out that I have copd was enough for me to realize that I wasn't invincible and my desire to live was much stronger than to knowingly continue to slowly kill myself as difficult AND horrendous as it was in those early days and weeks of quitting smoking I also knew from all of the reading that I did right here on this site that it was and is so Doable  I believe today I have 2,250 splendiferous Smokefree days I'm smiling  because I know that LIFE really is Grand without a Cigarette in Hand..... If you're struggling with remaining quit please know that you can and will be successful one precious Smokefree Day at a time or hour minute or even a second at a time plus we're all here to help you in any way we can and we are rooting you on......

when I found out that I have copd I decided I wasn't going to play Russian Roulette with my life anymore that I didn't want to end up on oxygen 7/24 or die a slow painful death that would be most likely smoking related! I didn't want to be sitting in the Dr's office and have him tell me to go home that I waited to long to quit smoking that there was nothing he could do for me that I should get my affairs in order while I still could UGH!!! Thankfully as difficult as quitting smoking is it's also very Doable and with commitment and perseverance you can and will be living a life of Freedom....

I'm a proud Gram of 2 grandsons and a granddaughter and I consider myself a jack of all trades and a master of none, plus I enjoy reading and being outside and since quitting smoking breathing is so much easier because I'm not coughing half of my time sucking on a cancer stick....
