I had seven days of not smoking, but still getting nicotine through a patch Step #1 (21mg). I failed yesterday and smoked three cigarettes blaming it on stress & nerves. Companion quit also, he lives in the same houshold. His attitude lately stinks, talks mean & ugly. I believe this helps add to my stress alot. I must find a positive way to not light one up or replace it with eating and gaining weight. I do mwalk & exercise but run out of breath easily. A true sign I need to quit to be able to breathe better and be healthier. Any ideas or suggestions I would truly appreciate. Thank you, Janet Whitmer

I also am in a sort of depression trying to quit smoking. I live alone and am housebound because I have copd. I get where medicines aren’t working well and I can hardly walk 10 feet, let alone do much of anything. Friends fall away because I slip and end up smoking a cigeratte once in awhile, I have to call someone if I want to communicate with the outside world,I have to hope and pray that someone will be available if I need gracries or need to go to the doctor. Sometimes just moving my arms gets me out of breath, so I do lay around alot.
So, because I loose friends because I do smoke one in awhile, or may loose my life if I smoke one to many I get very depressed, and the thing of it is that with this disease I really have no other options. Unless you can think of some.
