Hello! I am happy to tell you that I am finally starting to cut through all the SADness that I have had! My butt is off the couch and trying to clean and decorate a little for Thanksgiving! I found out that I will not be all alone for Thanksgiving or any of the following Holidays! BF (Brandy) will be staying in town with me! I am so grateful for this! He told me last night that he is definately staying in town to be with me! This morning I got up out of bed and have not got on the couch till now, and that is so I can tell you that I feel better today than I have in awhile! I have stayed away from the T.V. and fb today! So depressing! I want to Thank all of you for hanging with me and encouraging me! Some of you have been relentless and today I am very gratefull for you! It is not sunny outside but bright, and thats help some too!

I am very Gratefull that I found this site and have been able to keep my commitment for 140 days and counting! I have had some uncomfortable moments today as I am cleaning and getting intio areas that I haven't been in for awhile. My addiction says I wanna smoke. NOPE so, today I am eating freezer pops on my breaks!

Have a HAPPY smoke-free day! You are wonderfull people and I am HAPPY to have you in my corner! Love you all!!  xoxo

Terrie

SO happy to hear you are feeling better.  This IS a difficult time a year for a lot of folks.  Old memories, cold and dark --- it's all enough to send anybody down.  I am so happy you are figuring out how to right back!  Good for you!!!!

So proud of YOU, my little one, for putting up such a good fight!! Depression is the hardest fight but especially when you're stopping smoking at the same time!! Keep it up and YOU will prevail!! Love YOU!!

Congrats on 140 days of freedom Terrie and thank you  for the turkey !!! 🙂

Get outside as much as you can the sunlight and fresh air  will do you good  !I am very happy that you will have a friend for the holiday! I often try and work at my job on the holidays because I have no family here and it can be very sad , being at work and helping others really helps me .

About the Author
Hello, I am a 59 year old female, name Terrie, still growing up. I have moderate COPD. I am an oxygen patient, currently not in need of the 24/7 or night time oxygen. Thanks to all the great support and education I got here on EX. My original quit date was 07/06/15 on day 519 I relapsed and started over in less than 24 hours. I want to go to the great beyond being a former smoker and I shall! COPD is not choosy! and not pretty! May 1rst, 2017 I am using Dale's suggestion to put off a cigarette each time and I am down from 50 to 20. I am looking forward to my old(7-6-2015)/new quit date 7-6-2017 May 4th, 2017 I started with Marlboro reds. Nicotine is a very assinine addiction. Once addicted I found I would smoke any of it including the little cigar/cigarettes, and it's still true since I threw away my quit and stopped being true to myself. I will smoke ANYTHING with nicotine in it to get the fix. I hate smoking! I am not having a problem stopping it's staying stopped, that I am not doing! I do not buy anything but regular tobacco but if caught without it I will do anything except vape to get the fix. UPDATE POSTED 04/24/2018: Getting ready to set a quit date and begin again :)
