Making my way through it.

Today I woke up and had real stinking thinking, but changed my mind about it and got distracted and changed my patch.  I am working hard at keeping this quit.  I know with just one puff I loose it all.  Just don't take that first puff today.  There are so many other better things to do than smoke.  Smoking was my constant companion for 47 years.  It's going to take me some time to get used to my new life without them. Someday I hope to actually be an elder here.  It won't happen if I keep returning to my vice.

I'm a widow now, my husband passed away January 1, 2018 He died of COPD, and pre leukemia and the flu. He quit smoking 15 years ago which gave him extra time. I am a mother, and grandmother. I have smoked for 47 years. I am going to have my forever quit and I'm doing it for me and my two daughters so I can live longer and be with them. I like to read, swim, garden, crochet, paint and doodle. I also enjoy walking and visiting with friends and family. I am 100% making this my last quit. I have been in denial about what smoking has done to me and my kids. I must make a new life for myself and it doesn't include cigarettes. I may already have COPD, but have not been officially diagnosed.
