Still have a couple of weeks until my quit date, I can tell the mornings will be my toughest...always have coffee and cigarettes outside with my dogs, enjoying the sunrise and my conversations with God. I need ideas please for what I know will be my hardest change. Also tried counting cigarettes yesterday and of course added a couple at the end of the night so that technique will not be happening. I go Tuesday to find out the deal on my emphysema diagnosis so hoping that will reinforce my NEED to quit. Don’t get me wrong, I want to quit but I’m one of those people that enjoy smoking...not the smell afterwards and sometimes not particularly the taste but the act of it and what I perceive as the relaxation aspect. Thinking I may need to write emphysema across my forehead to remind me of my reasons...thanks for listening and being here to help.

Started smoking to be cool and that was was 46 years ago with a break for boot camp and two pregnancies. Figured one cigarette with a cocktail wouldn’t hurt and now I’m diagnosed with emphysema, huh that didn’t work out as planned...you would think working in a hospital and watching your mother die of lung cancer would motivate me but apparently I’m a slow learner. Scared to quit but I know my life depends on it.
