Pity party yesterday

Went out with my husband and son and enjoyed an Octoberfest yesterday...warm and humid but only walked around for about an hour and had lunch, then stopped at Walmart for some shopping...towards the end I started getting short of breath so asked for the car keys and went and sat in the car with a/c running...when I got home I broke down in tears thinking “omg is this my life now?” 3 hours of walking around and that’s it?” I love doing things, not a big stay at home kinda girl...so I had my little pity party but didn’t smoke!!!! Will never smoke because it has limited my life and that pisses me off...sorry for the language...stupid COPD, and pneumonia that’s hanging on for round 2 of antibiotics....grrrrrrrrr....if you are still on the fence about quitting, quick jump off and throw those things in the trash. Blessings

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.
