Smokin is a death sentence
I quit smoking 1 week ago after 29 years, I have to say it has been a huge battle, struggling with massive cravings, constant sweating, dizziness and stomach aches, but I've been told that is normal. I have very little support, which is why I joined this website. I have been diagnosed with mild emphysema, this being a big reason to quit. I tell you when you get the x-rays and the doctor tells you that you have emphysema, you have two choices either keep smokin and die a terrible early death or change by not smoking anymore and live a longer fulfiled life. Sure I may still have mild emphysema for the rest of my life but I will live a hell of a lot longer and enjoy all the things that many healthy people do right now.
Your on the right track! Most smokers will not quit until they see early signs of what smoking can do. You are making the best choice for yourself by quitting! I for one am 22 and have been quit for almost 4 days now. But it is the best outcome we can have! Good luck and hope to hear from you in the coming weeks!
Good luck. It is a hard battle but one worth fighting.I also smoked for about 29 years and now smoke free for 52 day's. I'm sure a also have emphysema as i was always breathless and it runs in the family. I also developed severe asthma so to keep smoking was giving me an early death sentance. You can do it.
hello mindtask first of all good luck with your quiting it is a very hrd thing to do i stopped 31 days ago after having a heart attack and while i was in hospital it was ok but when i came home it was hard but it does get easier you just have to hang in there im here for you i also smoked for 29 years and the thing i find at the moment is i dont have much interest for my hobby in woodworking at the moment as i did that with a smoke hanging out of my mouth but i will get back there.
ready "Easy way to quit smoking" by Allen Carr. My grand father quit using this book, have quit using this book i know over a dozen people that quit using the "Easy way" and it makes quiting the happiest momentt of your life. Everytime i realise I'm a non smoker i smile. This book makes quitting the happiest experience of your life!
hi mate, its sad it takes something big to make us realise, i also suffered a heart attack like heart re hab and have also given up....same story easy when i was in hospital but it was harder when i got out but i am up tp day 18 now, wish i had given up years ago but we can only look to the future now, the past cant offer us anything anymore. i am looking forward to my full recovery and a long life without smokes and guilt associated with it. GOOD ON YOU KEEP GOING AND HAVE A POSSITIVE ATTITUDE :) :)
