Introduction and a Hello

Hi. I'm babeyblue and I have decided today (valentines day) to quit smoking. I have smoked for over 30 years and I'm only 42. I thought I would cut down by rolling my own but then I smoked more! So, I have decided I am tired of hearing my lungs sound like percolators and this horrible cough has got to go. I can barely smell anything and everything tastes bad all the time. So here I am. Nice to meet you all and thanks for letting me take the journey with you.

When the family wont help

I told my husband I needed to quit because I am afraid I am going to die. My doctor says I have COPD and my O2 level is very low. I have a horrible cough and I feel sick to my stomache when I smoke. My first day I tried so hard to entertain my brain and excercise to relieve the cravings. But then he went to the store and came back and dropped a pack of smokes on the table because, he says, he doesnt see why he needs to change his habit for one of my whims.....I thought I would have some support from his end but I am still determined.....I will just rely on this site for all the support I can get....babeyblue
