I think D's day is done and she's off to sleepy land ... -18

Welcome aboard the Quit Train @Muddled Quince! I won't add musg more to what other wise quitters have already talked about. YES, you can do it if it's really important to you, which it now should be if you've been diagnosed with early stages of emphysema. Nothing but fresh air should enter your lungs from this day forward. It's not just a nice idea; it's now imperative and we can and will be most happy to help you achieve your ultimte goal Stick around and post often no matter how you're feeling. We can help you put this fight and the challenges along the way into perspective. The turbulant times of quitting don't last all that long in the grand scheme of things and there is a whole world of benefits that will be yours aside from health improvements and money saved - like Freedom from being a daily slave to nicotine for instance - that's a biggie!! Anyway, welcome and be sure to stick around!

Thank you all for the warm welcome!! I ended up going to the eye doctor and yes, the withdrawal is affecting my eyes, which reminds me of my last chest cold, when they put me on a big antibiotic and big steroids and I walked around all day like a zombie and felt half asleep, lol....so in my mind, at this point...it is....Suck It Up Buttercup and let's get this done. I will pledge the N.O.P.E. once I do a walk around here and get rid of the NRT's and all of the other stuff. And thank you again for being here, as I know full well, come morning, it will not be pleasant!!

NOPE…

Welcome @Muddled Quince and congratulations on deciding to quit smoking. Yes, it can be a tough decision and can be tough early on but it is very doable, as lots of people here can attest. I hope you stick around. Read a lot of posts from the Quit Smoking Discussions section of our post, pledge NOPE (Not One Puff Ever) in the Daily NOPE section of the site once you feel comfortable, and feel free to reach out for help as you need it. It is great to have you here.

G’day NOPE .....Not One Puff Ever.... (replace Ever with Min,Hour, Day as required.)

You should be very proud of yourself! I guess I am not at the stage yet where I don't miss it anymore. I honestly do miss it sometimes, especially when I smell it. I can't go back, but I'm hoping that eventually I won't miss it ever again. Although, when I am around smokers, I don't go nuts and I can stay in a room with them. Sorry about the groundhog eating your veggies. Do you put cages around them to keep the groundhogs out? Enjoy your ham and congratulations again!

Decide. That I think is the first step in quitting. When I decided to quit, I was trying to have my first morning cigarette. With each drag, I would go into a coughing fit. When the coughing stopped and I could catch my breath, I would try again with the same result. My cough was keeping me from enjoying my cigarette. My body had rebelled and fought smoking to a draw. Some would see a solution to this problem quicker than I. It dawned on me that smoking was going to kill me. Smoking was playing for keeps and would give no quarter. I had a deadly adversary. I of course had heard this many times before and ignored it. How could something I enjoyed so much be bad for me (the lies smokers tell themselves are unbelievable). But as I struggled that morning with smokers’ hack, I did something I hadn’t done before, I decided to quit. Now after twelve years it seems so obvious and simple (easy peasy). Some have the decision to quit forced on them while others quit on a whim. It doesn’t matter how you reach this point, as long as you do. If you haven’t quit, decide to do it. If you have quit, stand by your decision with pride. It’s one of the best ones I’ve ever made. I have dry cured and aged a country ham for 18 months, which I’ll have on my birthday. My garden was attacked by a groundhog and I lost the lettuce, kale, parsley and green beans. It doesn’t seem to like eggplant, peppers, zucchini or cherry tomatoes. null

Been a few days since I've posted, but still going strong. Nope!
