Hello Everyone

I know it's been awhile since I checked in. My computer bit the dust, and all I have is this cheap tablet, and it's a real challenge to type on.

I have been free from smoking for 6 months and 15 days. $960.00 saved. My husband has been quite for over 3 months.

In case you're wondering what it's like for a 61 year old women who smoked for 47 years and free for 6 months, I experience the urge for a puff 3-4 times a day. Before the thought fully formulates in my brain, I am already taking a deep breath, and by the time I fully exhale, the urge is gone.

Me, I never imagined that I could quit smoking. Now I can't imagine ever taking even 1 puff!

So, to my old friends, I hope you are all doing well! To the newbies believe in yourself, you got this!

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.
