Hi Terri,
My story was not unlike yours. I had bronchitis and the doc scared me about emphysema. If the nebulizers they had to give me so I could breathe did not reverse the situation and improve my breathing, she was ready to diagnose emphysema. She told me it was my wake up call, what should I expect after 30 years of smoking?
I got Chantix and it, along with my determination, helped me get to 6 months.
You can do it Terri! Pretty soon the evenings will be a cinch :)
Having a support group like this one has been a must for me and I think in the beginning, at least, you should lean on us a lot.
