No, this is my first time at trying to quit. I am 52, and have been smoking steady since I was 16.

It's tough when one has been a lifelong smoker. Stupid teenagers wanting to appear grown-up and cool *shakes head* I really wish I'd never started smoking at all because ultimately getting ill is soooo not cool! I've been experiencing quite a lot of breathlessness this week but that was my own fault for running out of spiriva, my copd medication, it will take a few days to get back to full 'spiriva-ness. How are you doing Jesse? Still keeping on giving up? And you too julieisafemme? Are you making progress? Just G, are you still staying stopped? ...and how about the OP, Strappie, how goes it with your giving up mission? |

Hey Incubus,
Sorry you are struggling with the breathlessness. Do you have the meds now? You are correct in that ultimately the things smoking causes to happen to our bodies are just not cool at all. Yes, I am still smoke free. Wednesday will be two weeks.  There are still times the thought monkeys dance around in my head trying to convince me to smoke just one, but I just keep saying no.Hoping that others on here are having great success! Quote:

Aww I'm so pleased to hear that you're still smoke free Jesse, it's good news indeed. Two weeks is quite an achievement. Well done on denying the dancing monkeys. That's all it takes, a certain strength (will power) and the ability to say NO! to yourself and the monkeys.  Yup I now have my meds and they're building up their protectiveness again. |
