Failed attempts.
I think this is the sixth time I've tried to quit, last time I lasted a whole 8 month's. And I was going so well, stress got the better of me and I caved. I was always running at school, fitness was my stress relief, and now I run a few meter's and I can hardly breathe. I miss the old me, being healthy a d happy, the taste of food, and clear lungs. Im sick of coughing all the time, I don't want my kid's to follow my lead and think that smoking is ok. Because the reality is it will kill you! We are all slowly killing ourselves..I sat down last night and thought long and hard and I've had enough. It has to stop now. I want to wish everyone here the best of luck, stay strong! Don't give up on yourself, when you feel you want one dont! Go for a run, take a walk, find a hobby to take your mind away. Just dont light it up! <3>
Not everyone succeeds at their first attempt of stopping. I stopped for 6 years once and then just slowly fell back onto my own sword....Every try is a good one.
Thanks for the encouragement. I really appreciate it. Today I took a fast walk and when I was done, I got on my exercise bike and rode almost the whole 4th quarter of a football game. Had wobbly legs, but no shortness of breath! I was sooo excited about that. I live in a very small town in Colorado, and there is only 1 pharmacy. They had to order my prescription, hopefully it comes in Monday. I have smoked over 30 years and want to see my granddaughter grow up. If I quit, I can and looking forward to it. Yes we are in this together. Let's keep in touch and encourage each other. I would really like that :)
