Welcome :)

Have you tried anything for exercise? I must sound like a broken record, but it really does take the edge off.

My grandfather died of pancreatic cancer 15 years ago, he was a heavy smoker. Before then, I had associated smoking with lung cancer or smoker's cough. Around the same time my mom, was found to have an aortic aneurysm, a heavy smoker herself. My grandmother was diagnosed with COPD a few years ago, even though she hadn't smoked for many years. I was diagnosed with COPD at 37, it is no longer an elderly person's disease. I am willing to bet that there are a lot more diseases and conditions out there caused by smoking.

Positive thinking is what it's all about. At first, I made myself think positively and it wasn't long before it became natural. After a while, I didn't have to think about thinking positively, I just did automatically. Once this started to happen, my quit stopped being difficult and I started to actually enjoy it.

Glad to hear it Amy! Keep us updated!
