My life depends upon it
diagnosed with copd,and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis I am 49 yrs of age. I never thought it could be me I guess all us smokers give reasons like a drug addict for being a user.also they found a nodule on my right lung my Dr started me on chantix because I put a strong effort in to quitting cold turkey I've had and still have the Mental breakdown of my health when I looked it up it says its rare for anyone under 65 to have pulmonary fibrosis I haven't seen a lung Dr yet in process of changing all health care over to one of the top known hospitals in the world,The hospital Dr's I'm currently with seem non chalant about the whole thing like it can wait I'm in my first 4 days of chantix smoking still i know I'll have 3/5 a day so far since I quit this morning I was awake at 4am and just started the night pill last night hoping it was anxiety and pain that woke me and kept me up seems to early for the chantix to be at fault any advice welcome
Hi Annalou, your title says it all. Quit or else but quitting is so very hard for some of us like myself. Never thought that I’d be able to say that i’ve Been smoke free for over 1 year and 2 months or 447 days to be exact. However, done it twice before and reverted back to smoking in the past. But not this tome. I finally realized that the upside of smoking was very much not worth the downside and it appears that you’ve arrived to the same conclusion. The first few weeks are the hardest, with a little but loud voice in your head saying that one puff won’t hurt you and I am your friend, etc. In addition to physical withdrawals it’s a powerful but temporary temptation. Resist it and it’ll go away to the point that you’ll know that you want something but don’t know what it is that you want. Chew gum, get a new haircut, go for a walk but don’t smoke. Good luck and I am cheering for you from the sideline.
