live longer
2 cardiac arrests in the ed on the 8th dec 2015, 3 arrests in the ambulance enroute to the cath lab, 1 bare metal stent inserted into the right coronary arterie which was 99% blocked and I've lived to tell my story. a pack a day smoker for 40 years, social drinker, slightly over weight, stressed, non diabetic, slightly unfit, high blood pressure, after realising just how lucky I am I swore to my wife and myself that I will never smoke again! going cold turkey I have replaced the hand to mouth habit of smoking with clean plain water, I have thrown the remaining packet of cigarettes in the bin when I got home never even thinking twice, I will never forgive her for what she has assisted to happen to me! all the psychological feelings and emotions that I am experiencing now, will not deter me from my goal to live a longer healthier life for my family. cigarettes I divorce you!
9 months later and i'm still smoke free, I will never smoke again. sometimes people need a good kick in the pants to realise just what affects smoking has on your health, it helped make my blood sticky which allowed it to build up a blockage in my right coronary artery. its good to be alive!
355 days smoke free. yeehaa, and you can do it too, just be strong and think about living longer, saving money, tasting better and smelling better to those who love you.
