Need advice from the pros

Boy do I have to say this addiction so sucks!!!!  I struggle everyone morning when waking to difficulty breathing and severe shortness of breath and feel like I am drowning from all the phlegm.  I have 12 days to quit day and starting to wonder if I will still be breathing to see my quit date. Since my little mini quit (as Dot Girl put it lol), I have taken your advice in learning relaxation techniques and learning not to fight the quit (still working and practicing the fighting) and still doing a lot of reading and learning and have decreased the amount I smoke by half of my normal.  Contemplating bumping my quit up by a week.  This is where I need advice from the pros in what you think as I do not want to set me up for failure.  I want so bad to be a quitter for the rest of my life. Have my listening ears on and ready to listen for advice.  I know you all will be truthful and tell me what's in my best interest.  Thanks for the imput.

Hi! My name is Sharon and I am married, a mom to 5 kids and also have 2 fur babies that are both shelties and considered my kids. I have smoked for about 30 years. I came here to learn how to quit and stay quit. I need to quit to impove my health and was tired of nicotine controlling me and Doctors and family nagging me. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. Now that I have joined in the EX family I now have been free of nicotine since May 13th 2016.
