I eventually managed to stop smoking after 45 years. Its only been three months and have suffered ups and downs along the way with my COPD. Managed to have an amazing 10 days in Turkey with my daughter last month and health wise felt on top of the world. Now going through a COPD flare up and feel dreadful but hopefully this will pass . Onwards and upwards.

Very well done on giving up the cigarettes. Onwards and upwards indeed.
Great news on giving up the cigs ... will really help you big time .. I gave up 7 years ago was best thing I did don’t miss it at all .. just wish my hubby would stop !
Hi Lyn he has tried a few times but ends up with temper from hell lol , you have to really want to do it , I’d tried over the years but my reward was having grandkids and as time went by I now have 3 best motivation ever my copd has declined rapidly I’m stage 3 30% lung capacity so I would have been even worse without stopping !!

Thats great Amanda.
Most hubby are like that but when they're ready they will.
Im going through a COPD flare up just now and hubby says you where better when you where smoking lol.

Its all true you need wellies here.xx
Well done for giving up smoking, you seem to be feeling the benefits now. Good for you. Love Bernadette 😳 xxx
Well done. I know how hard it is to stop.
Well done on good bing up the ciggies, I’m exactly 6years off them today, still want one every single day, but I’ve never given in. I had a few flare ups during my first year off them and then things settled down and so far so good. I’ve had a few flare ups since but none as bad as the ones I had when on the ciggies. Keep going you’re doing amazingly well x
LYNBURDON,
God for you giving up the smokes, mine was nearer to 55 years, COPD & emphysema brought it all to an end, keep it going they say it gets better. Good to hear you had a good time with your daughter, pity about the after effects. You will get thro' it.
