http://tobaccofreeflorida.com/I have committed to stopping tobacco us for good. There will be no vaping or any other treatment relief other than nicotine patches to manage my cravings during the withdrawal; as I step down to to zero assistance. I can not use gum or throat loungers. Why am I doing so now? At 5 pm, I enter a two hours class to support this decision. I have to quit for medical treatment to be be able to start and continue to assist me, as I either prepare for either partial for a full lung transplant. a well as to manage active advanced throat cancer that has spread down into my lungs via my wind pipe. The lesions that are stage 3 so I am hoping the can arrest it fast and get them shrunk back. 41 years of tobacco use has finally caught up. Enough said.

Good luck on stopping smoking. I know it is very hard. I quit for 5 years after taking Chantix, but then a job got me back into it. Then quit for a few months again, then husband had his heart issues and then died. Right now I wont even try because I know I will fail. When my head isn't as messed up, then I will try again. I am so sorry about all your health problems, it sounds pretty rough. It sucks, that's for sure, but don't forget that this community is very supportive. I know we have had our times, ok...many times, but if you need someone to talk to, I am here.

Quitting is hard, but it's well worth the effort. I have been quite for 16 years now and I couldn't be more thankful. I have an active life chasing around a very active 4 year old Daemon, something that would have been much more difficult as a smoker. Not to mention smokes are $16/pack in Canada.

Keep at it and remember that there is no failure, as long as you keep trying to make progress!

Sorry for your loss. You know I loss mine in 2001. It is hard when someone is part of you is gone physically, it still nags your thoughts, their words. I get to yell at him in 9 days when I go to Boston. I visit his final resting place to put Christmas flowers there

Very true. It hasn't been a full year yet, but it is my first Christmas, New Years, Thanksgiving, and my birthday coming up on the 18th of this month. It makes it hard. He always took me out for my birthday and it was always the best night ever! Not having that in a few days, breaks me into tears and my anxiety/depression is high right now. During the summer it was easier because I kept myself very very busy. My family told me to stop and relax, I refused to do so. Winter is a slow time of year and it sucks. BUT, I've been helping my daughter with her two babies. My Grandbabies are everything to me. They used to live in a different town, but when he died, my kid moved here to be closer to me. I have great family. It's not always ideal to be living with your mother, but she also moved her after his death and moved into my house. It helps a lot. I don't have a resting spot for him, his family adopted a tree at a lake they live near I guess. I have him in a pretty urn and he is in my living room. Makes me feel like he is near by. But enough about me, this thread is about you.

I just hope that you start getting better and I am sorry about your loss too.
