Hello. I am a 59 year old, 41 year smoker, with COPD and the last time I used this website I was a 58 year old, 40 year smoker with COPD. I quit 3 times last year 3 weeks one time, 17 days another time and 12 days the third time. Unforturnately the 3 week quit was the first one and the quits got weaker and weaker each time. So I am so afraid that I do not have what it takes to become an EX. My failures have made me quite anxious. I am not any smarter, or stronger than I was at those times that I quit my quits, so what makes me think I can ever, ever do it? My health is noticiably worse that a year ago, and yet I continue to do damage to it. I truely do want to stop the downward spiral I am on, I am just afraid.
