Haven't been around much but do read the posts. Well done to everyone on this journey. I have had an awful cold and now suffering with blocked sinuses. Been hanging on for 4 weeks now, hope it's all cleared up for Christmas.
Has anyone heard from ChrissieG ?
Put my tree up today, looks pretty and now writing lists for shopping.

oh my goodness I've just realised I've quit smoking 5 months today !! wow !! Can't believe it ! not bad considering I didn't want to give up, but had to because of C.O.P.D. xx Thanks to everyone on this forum for your help and support , you are all super stars !!
I feel discouraged also my friend..Quit smoking down hill from there...On a inhaler...Borderline pulmonary issues.Been to drs any advise or positive words.Hopefully better days ahead....I do not like my inhaler....ughhh...
Stopping smoking really is the best thing you can do, yes it is hard, but you will start to feel better, I don't know what inhaler your on ,if you don't think its helping perhaps your Dr could try another x I think that most of us on here go through so many emotions, when we quit, sometimes it even feels like a bereavement, I know that I did, I even thought whats the point in stopping , the damage is done, it can't be undone x ! But the thing is , you can have a better 'quality of life' , Take it one day at a time, do what you can to help yourself, Think Positive !! You can always come on here and have a rant , this is such a brilliant forum, so many lovely people who all have different reasons for quitting, someone will always be here for you xx Sending you big hug x
I too have reached my 5 month mark. It hasn't been easy. I too had to quit because of COPD. I still have cravings. Especially at night. For some reason my breathing is better in the cold. Summer, had many episodes of SOB.
I also have this internal chemical smell. Not sure if it's coming from lungs or sinuses.
They say there is a certain smell that is disease specific, just not sure which one matches mine.. Anyway just curious how ur journey has been. I still have a ways to go of healing. Maybe another year or so. Restoring lung function will b a battle.
