I'm have in the last month ,lost my life long friend (64 years ) to Pancreatic Cancer...Smoking being the main cause... She was 69 years old.... She smoked up to a couple of days before she died.. I tried my best to get her a seat on the train...but she told me she liked smoking ,and didn't want to quit... I will die a smoker she told me...sadly she did.... I hate this addiction !!!!

What keeps me from lighting up... Living with the devastation smoking causes every day....being a full time carer for your partner with emphysema is no easy fete... Even to putting your coat on and walking out of the house is a drama...you have to make sure that person is going to be OK..while your gone... The little things most folks don't think about..have to be arranged .... If that wasn't enough to stop me..my feet and me ...were nearly parted... Thank you cigarettes...

NOPE....not now...not ever !!!

My grandson is 12 years old...that a year older than me ,when I took my first taste of nicotine .. He is a keen rugby and football player....all his life it been Nana playing football with him .... Because his Grandad has emphysema.... On and off oxygen..so he carnt play .... I had a very serious conversation with him last year...telling him about the dangers of smoking...and this is why his grandad carnt breath... And why my feet were in danger of being separated from me...no feet ..no football...no rugby....brutal ..but honest.... He seemed to totally get it !!!....after promising never to smoke ...and giving us both a hug ...he went on his merry way... I only hope ..he remembers our chat for many years to come ...

Aww...I always get very sad when one of our soldiers lose thier battle... Sunny firstly thank you for coming here and holding your hands up...this is a great sign...deep down ..you really don't want to be a smoker...otherwise you would have dissapeared into the sunset.. Your seat is still here..and still warm...you have done your practice run...now make this your sticky... As others have said..you have to be honest with yourself... And ask what went wrong .....still romancing the cig ???? If so ...re- read everything here... I betting that cig tasted like shit.!!!....and you wondered why you were missing it... It's the nature of addiction... You can do it Sunny...take smoking off the table...no matter what...!!!!

Sending warm wishes Ellen...well done on your fabulous quit !!

Great honest post Jo... Your chances of dying were so much higher when you smoked... In my early quit...pledging NOPE...was the most important thing in my life...I spent many a day ,shouting it out loud ,hundreds of times... Nothing wrong with a big long NOPE !!!..... Your doing great...you have 5 fabulous months !!!!
