Hello and thank you to all who have supported and encouraged me to this point! You are awesome!

I wanted to make a note to all those coming in behind me! I just want to grab you up and drag you along! It's really diffucult and mind boggling at times! I know it. But you gotta hang on! You decided to quit, so you want to be here! I just know it! You can do this! I just know it! Some people think they were "more addicted" than others! I don't think so! I smoked 50 cigarettes a day for 45 years! This is a terrible addiction, but we can beat it! Look at all those ahead of us, all the Elders blazing a path for us! Actually we are lucky because they are proof that it can be done! I am 7 days away from Dale's 130 day challenge and believe me I'll be standing in line for my cookie!! LOL Come with me, We can do this together! IT IS DOABLE!! and i've seen some almost there and give in! Don't let that be you! Well, I am all done preaching now! Just HANG TOUGH!! Love you all!! xoxo

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 :)
