Festival season

Went to two festivals yesterday, my husband and I love them...the music, the food, the crafts etc. it was in the 80’s and a bit humid. Really found myself winded a couple of times...jeez what have these damn cigarettes done to my lungs, correction...what have I done. I know there is no looking back or playing the blame game but this COPD is a real bummer. If anyone is struggling to quit or stay quit, just do it, life is short enough on this earth don’t shorten it anymore if possible...happy fall

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.
