I still feel like an Elder, but I have a newbie number. I have all the wisdom but feel like I don't deserve to share it. I feel horrible that I flushed my Quit but I did all of the right things afterward like I would tell anyone to do. My Quit was my baby and I put it in the trash. I know that what's done is done, I have shed so many tears and I did this to myself. When I opened the front door that night, I didn't think I will just go in there and smoke, (some say I did have it in my mind,I didn't) but that's what I did! No thoughts of any of this! Please don't tell me to stop kicking myself, I know I can't go back, too late for that!

Some have told me "you can do this" Of course I can I already did! I am moving forward but this hurts, it hurts a lot.The big girl panties just don't feel like they fit anymore! Feeling sorry for myself? Yes, I am, I am trying not to wallow in it, but this feels horrible! I just want to run away and hide and come back when I get to 500 again! But I need to be here! I NEED TO BE HERE! Can you help me?

So what am I?

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 :)
