She was in her 50's. I do think of that a lot. I am sorry to hear about you having had cancer I am happy to hear that they were able to remove it and that you are cancer free. God bless you. Stay strong. Tear drops fall from my eyes reading your story. I want to be around for a long time. I don't want to lose that time with my children. Before I made that decision to quit. I lay in bed every night just thinking how I am going to die young and my children won't have me. It's not fair to them. What really got me was I was playing with my children after school as I always do. We were playing tag and I was running out of breathe and I had bad chest pain and had to quit playing. I quit on my quit date April 17. It's been 4 days. Not so bad actually. I guess I am finally ready and dedicated to quitting. I will start exercising in about a month or so. With the patch I read you have to take it off during exercising. I really don't want to take it off. So I will wait. Linda I thank you for your words and I will take your story and carry it in my heart and mind with me.

Hi Beverly, 

Thank you for your kind words, your posting meant alot to me.  

I'm so proud of you. You have 4 days already behind you, yahooooo !! You quitting, this time it's for you, the outcome will be for everyone.  The one thing I took from this board was N.O.P.E.  not one puff ever. When you want that one cigarette really, really bad don't give in to that one. For me and many others on the board it just open the gate for many, many others.  It's like you can't stop at just one cigarette. I come to realize that this was just the nicotine taking control again. And that is one addiction that has a strong hold. I used the inhaler as a substitute, it didn't take long before I didn't need anything.  You are doing so good, keep posting.
