Shyanne, Let me introduse myself. My name is Jaset. Been smoke free for a few months. Had many problems because of smoking. You have COPD. Your problems are big ones, mine were to. A-fib, asthma chronic bronchitis were just a few of mine. Well, it seems to me that COPD is enough to quit cold turkey. COPD leads to other issues. So strap on your guns and just stop. But along the way you have to get your mind right. You have to realize that your problems are not small and that if you keep on going like you are, your issues will no longer be. Please, please sit down and think to yourself. Think of what you have to do to quit. Number 1) you have to change your whole life around. You must eliminate all the triger points to smoking. What ever you do now that involves a smoke, you have to stop. If you like a smoke with your coffee, then you have to eliminate the coffee. It wont be forever, but eliminate it for your quit. If you buy your smokes from a specific store, then dont go back in that store. You MUST stop what ever goes with your smoking. 2) You have to get tough, I mean very tough because as you know, you have a real fight on your hands and in order to win, you must get tough. You must not whine or moan because that will only make you feel sorry for yourself. You have to stay strong and alert! Very alert!! You must control the urges in the same way that they control you. When the urge comes, you must get angry at it becausse it is not your friend. It wants to kill you and you cant let it. When the urge comes, quickly reach for something that will take your mind off it. Mine was plain old gum. But, when the urge comes, thats when you have to get angry at it and you must tell yourself that the urge can not beat you. Soon the urge will get less and less until it will come and go in a split second. So, roll up your sleaves and get to work! STAY ALERT!!!
