Went out on my own today and although I had the usual pangs after eating...I pulled through...I am not foolish enough to think I have this beat but every time I get any craving I think...NOPE...and remember I was diagnosed with COPD and that’s what got me off the fence about quitting. I was just thinking how sad it is a serious medical diagnosis is what made me say “no more”, I hope anyone out there reading these posts, if you haven’t quit, please just DO IT...change your mind set, you’re not depriving yourself your giving yourself life and it’s WONDERFUL...

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.
