Why I quit
I quit too late. I had a stroke at 46. It was scary and yet it still took me 10 months to quit. I still don't really want to, though I'm up to a month and a half now. I didn't enjoy every cigarette I had, but about half of them were nice. I miss those. But I also miss not having a stutter so I quit.
Good luck Suzy, you have a greater chance of a better recovery by quitting, not much consolation right now I know, please keep us posted on how you're going.
Beter late than never. maybe it will prevent you having another stroke. I am just going on a month and yes i miss them. But i don't miss the struggle to breathe or using ventolin everytime i wanted a smoke. You have to look at the positive things that outweigh what smoking does to you. keep us posted and use this site as a vent if you need to. Good luck
chin up suzy this must have pulled you down like it has me i gave up 2weeks ago after having a heart attack and i just turned 49 in october. so hope your spirits are high.
