Wake up call

24 hours without a cigarette :-)

My reasons for quitting are many and I have tried many, many times before . Funny how quitting feels like a good friend to me now ..we are well aquatinted .

Over Christmas I had to have my appendix out and realised just how bad my lungs are with staff putting me on oxygen and asking me to take deep breathes as I had little blood oxygen .

Ok I managed to ignore this although in the back of my mind I knew..

Weekend asked to blow into a contraption ( for fun) ha!! Hardly made a difference so it's probably too late but I'm signing on for life .

Hi your story is similar to mind, hospital, oxygen mask, deep breaths, 4th day I went outside drip and all to have a cigarette. Now I am stopping for a future surgery. I practice breathing in through my nose, exhaling through mouth. I am glad as truly my breathing when walking is not the best. Wish you all the best, keep in touch.
