good afternoon guys!!! so since iam layed up with a cough and cold,and no voice for the past 3 days, ohh but i still have my fingers to do the talkin for me LMAO THANK GOD :))))   well, are u al don good wt not smokng or hw many are having it hard today.

well dont think of it as hard, think how strong u reli are and how u wll not be defeated by something that will only bring u down.you guys wana win this battle right. im sure u do or you wouldnt be here right now reading this LMAO.., you people didnt get where u are over night, it took time and its gona take time to fix what u did. now the only thing is how are u gona do t?/  for one, when in doubt, eaither blog,or exercise, yoga is good, drink water read books or blogs of others like mine lmao clean always ALWAYSSSS  BE STRONG!! you always have to believe,b/c if u dont believe in urself then who is gona believe i you.. you have to be very determined,stand up nd take control of ur life, hellooo after all this is ur life not anyone eles and when YOU CANT BREATH! Well your the one that has to live with that.and that SUCKSSS..understand the addicion of smoking,the dos and the donts and what comes along with it,theres a bad side to smoking,how much are u willing to sacrifice to smoke.??? a pair of lungs mayb.. a voice box or mayb ur life,  life is soo good, but life is also what u make of it to. you can take a bad day and turn it into something positive,b/c attitude is everything.  laughing ur ass off is next thats the best medicine in the world , who knows,it can even be a healer :))) confidence.. u have to have it confidence, thats what i call self medicating :)) theres alot that comes from quitting and i can rest asure u all, its more good then bad, infact its all good nothig bad about it. so if you give urself the chance to feel out all the good things that go with quittin, u will see iam right. and u will see how much more u will enjoy life with out them shitty stinky smelly things in ur mouth. iam rootin 4 ya all. so whos with me here. just give it ur best shot, if it dont work well u get up and try n try agian untill u make it work.

if i had done all this a few yrs ago i wouldnt be stage 4 copd with end emphysema,i was young enuf to know better, i was 44 yrs old at stage 1. now at 53 im stage 4, dont think that copd,emphysema discriminates by age relgion or race, b./ c ill have u no, that no it does not, its no more old ppls desease, dont care the color of skin and sure as hell dont have respect for religion. its out to ge anyone,at any age at any time. here i sit today feelin like crap due to copd and thinkin about how i got to this point. and about lung transplant if i died what about my kids, all this thinkin for smoking 40 yrs wow. but on the good note of it all, Im women!! Iam a surviver!! I will be A winner!!  theres always a better side to everything. :))) you just have to see it. & life goes on!!  Joanne,smkefree 285 days a 40 yr smoker w/stage 4 copd end emphysma ;))

so enjoy the rest of the weekend and protect ur quits!! just for today i will not smoke!!

remember SICKORETTS ARE KILLERS.... THEY TRAVEL IN PACKS !!  How true tha is hahahhahha
