About through hell week

Feeling a little better today and thanking God that I didn't smoke. I know the strength came from him!. Mornings are still hard-that's when I smoked the most and before breathing started to hurt. When my brain goes to how smoking will relieve these withdrawal symptoms, I run the tape all the way through to the symptoms smoking was causing.

The 1 good thing while we're going through this journey is, when we're going through the really tough times, knowing the next hour or day will be better. I keep that foremost in my brain.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement. I could not do this without you. In my medical records I am diagnosed as a severe nicotine addict and I know I could not do this on my own.

I'm 59 with severe COPD. I've decided I really want to live and I won't if I smoke. I have 4 grown boys, a grandson and granddaughter due on 9/10. Lots of reasons to live.
