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 :)
