How are you doing in your quit?

How is life in general going? How is life effecting your quit journey? If you're in your early days and weeks of quitting smoking then you may be struggling at times BUT please know that it's going to get easier and easier with time under your belt and it definitely gets better and better without the yuckies (cigarettes) deep breaths you will get through the rough patches and into that good in your quit where you realize how much better life is without the crutch and you'll smile at each and every Day WON...It takes time to relearn life without the smokes BUT boy oh boy it's so worth it...

Yes.  And please reach out for support if you need help.  Before you smoke/vape!

Doing great at 286 Days...I had a bit of a thing yesterday...my dad who has Alzheimer’s was very agitated so the nursing home called last night so I could talk to him...of course that isn’t the easiest when nothing makes sense...I got of the phone and didn’t think about smoking...I teared up and prayed to God...that he would envelope my dad with his arms and calm him down...yes dealing with life on life’s terms better this way then smoking...~ Happy Sunday ~ Colleen

Colleen, that is so difficult.  My mother had dementia and that could be difficult, but not the same.  Even though she didn't remember much near the end (she's was 97), she still recognized me.  I spent a lot of time with the Alzheimer's patient in the last home she was in, so I feel very fortunate that we still had some connection.  Hugs go out to you.
