Help....

I'm coming to the only place I know to get the help and support I so desperately need.  Miss you all so much, but I especially miss my freedom.  I gave up my quit back in July and haven't stopped smoking since. My chronic bronchitis is back in full force; I can only half way breath if I'm on oral sterodis and every inhaler on the market.  I've stopped and started so many times over the last few months; it's exquiste hell. 

To all the elders, I've been reading your blogs taking in your knowledge and wisdom.

To all the new people, congrats and stay with it, I can promise you, you're not missing anything, this is sheer hell.

AnnieB, way to go.

Hugs to my Ellen.

I welcome any comments to help me step over the threshold into freedom again

Gone but Not Forgotten. RIP - they leave a legacy of their quit journeys behind as road maps for future members, to prevent the pitfalls, provide the tools and show the hope and possibilities for success at overcoming this addiction at any age at any stage. Quit March 16th. 52 years old, smoked 2 packs a day for 40 years, enough said. Day 124, July 18 I smoked a cigarette and continued to smoke (because there is no such thing as just one) until Sunday, November 2, 2014. April 24, 2015 I'm editing the above. Certainly did not quit back in November and I'm 53 now. Boy, time sure flies... There's nothing worse than being a smoker who wants nothing more than to quit. Okay, so now it's over a year, but I will do this starting today, August 17, 2015. Out of the darkness and into the light.... Needed to update this, quit as of September 14, 2015. Anyone contemplating losing their quit, just follow this time line, it's taken me over a year to take back my freedom when I thought it was going to be so easy to take it back before. Don't make that mistake. Wish I had a counter, but as I write this it is September 24, 2015, I'm in the baby stages of my quit. Day one again, September 28, 2015
