77 Brings to Mind an Old TV Show!

So, who remembers 77 Sunset Strip? (day before it was 76 Trombones!)  Just about everything I think of can bring a song to mind and I've been humming this to myself since 77 days yesterday - wow, 11 weeks.... it feels soooo good. I decided to have a breathing test to establish a baseline so I can see my improvement down the road.  Being a visual type person, this will help me see reuslts as well as feel them.  The comparison with yesterday and my last testing in 2014, there is a slight but perceptable improvement. 2014 was when I was diagnosed with beginning COPD - I was so stunned and still feel disgusted with myself when I see that acronym in my health chart - I never even coughed, had no idea this was happening! And it still took another 3 years to see common sense huh! Oh well, no sense in dwelling on it - I am thrilled to be moving forward and keeping my quit as the most important thing in my life today.  My absolute strongest support system for this is right here with you all on EX! I feel so grateful today

I am a transplant from England and came to California in 1973; became a citizen in 1985. I have promised myself I would be a happy non-smoker by my 70th birthday or sooner - April is getting close! I started smoking at age 15 and like many others have tried to stop several times. This time I have a very different attitude and I am looking at this as a positive move to regaining my freedom as opposed to losing something by giving it up.
