Ted is a beautiful cat. How old is he? I once had a cat many years ago. Her name was Malcolm Chudley, Jr., but we just called her Chudley.

Her cat.

Hi @lookmawatchmecrash Welcome! We are very glad you have found our site, and you will find a ton of support here, from member advice to so much information on the dangers of smoking, and how to quit successfully. Quitting smoking is a journey that we all know is not an easy one, but it's definitely doable and so worth it in the end. We have quitters here from newbies, quitters who have quit more than once such as yourself (this is my 2nd and last time quitting), and all the way up to 20+ years and everything in between. Our best advice for you in the beginning is to come on this site every day, if you can, and do the daily Nope pledge because it will keep you focused. If you ever find yourself where you feel you are going to give in and smoke, there is an SOS section. Since our members are from all over the world, there is usually someone around most of the time. To help you get your mind off of smoking there is a Games section too. The most popular game is Chicks and Sticks, go and check it out, it's a load of fun! What I used in the beginning of my quit was cinnamon sticks. I would take them and pretend that I was smoking sucking the air in and pretend to blow it out. They really did help me and they tasted great. So much better than dirty cigarettes. If you don't like cinnamon you can use cut up straws. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

We all know how difficult it is, but you have to remain strong especially since you were diagnosed with COPD and are on oxygen! Do anything to take your mind off of smoking. Go for a walk, drink a big glass of water, call a friend. Do anything but smoke!!
