You can do this. I never thought I would make it a day, much less two days. I thought losing half of my lung would make it easy to quit. It didn’t. I still have to consciously tell myself NO everyday. I’ve smoked for most of my life; 64 years! I can’t undo that without a struggle. Don’t land where I am. A diagnosis of lung cancer. Lung cancer surgery. Now lung cancer free with the constant worry of it returning. Not a fun place to be. Quit NOW. You can do it. We are all here for you. If you fall, get back up; as many times as you have to until it takes… and it will.

Marie….. I wish I had started smoking 4 years ago. Unfortunately, I started smoking 64 years ago! I quit smoking 2 months+ ago. I really had no choice. I had just had half of my lung removed due to lung cancer. Hopefully it won’t come back. However, I have two lungs and I’m sure the other lung is just as black as the one they removed with malignant tumors. Don't end up where I am; learning how to breathe with half a lung missing. I’m not looking for sympathy; I did this to myself. I just don’t want to see anyone else go down this road. And, I can promise you, you will never regret quitting, but you will always regret not quitting. Welcome. Stay strong. Your worth it.

Thanks everybody. What a great group. 2 months isn’t huge, I know, but it’s 2 months in the right direction so I’m happy!

Congratulations @DenaliBlues. I just hit my 2 months as well. I would like to say it’s been easy, but not the case, always. Seems to get harder for me each day. Hoping that will change in time. Anyway, this is not about me, this is about you and you are doing great. Keep up the good work.

First of all, I am so sorry about the loss of your Dad. It’s not easy to lose a parent. I have lost both Mom & Dad and it never gets easy. I miss them so. I’m glad you decided to speak up. Lurking is okay but getting to know everyone and having people to lean on who have been where we are really makes a difference. You are doing great. I’m not going to tell you it will be an easy ride, because it’s not. But neither is battling cancer; something I had to face not to long ago. Yes, quitting cigarettes is hard…but so is fighting cancer. Welcome aboard. Stick closeby and read lots. You’ll soon be an ex-smoker…just like so many here.
