Dear Recent quitter (Newbie):
I LOOKED AT A COUPLE OF THINGS MORNING
Reasons to quit smoking, typed August 15th, 2006 at 8:28 AM:
• I have emphysema.
• I cough horribly each morning while spitting
up phlegm.
• Sometimes I fall to the floor - black out.
• I wake up during the night unable to breathe.
• I gasp for breath even while walking.
• I have no stamina.
• My hands and feet are cold.
• My toenails are getting discolored.
• My skin is yellowish.
And Today:
Joe Do is Free and Healing for Two Months, Nine Days, 22 Hours and 35 Minutes, while extending my life expectancy 9 Days and 20 Hours, by avoiding the use of 2838 nicotine delivery devices that would have cost me $711.48.
• I still have emphysema; I guess you reap what you sow however the symptoms of my illness have greatly diminished.
• I do not cough horribly each morning spitting up phlegm however I often "bring up" heavy matter. I believe my lungs are purging themselves naturally.
• I have not had a seizure in months.
• I do not wake up in the middle of the night unable to breathe. As a matter of fact, when I do get up in the middle of the night, I marvel at how deeply I can breathe, there is no labor whatsoever.
• I do not gasp for breath while walking; actually, I jog a bit now. I am healing with each passing day.
• As far as stamina goes, I find that I can play or work longer, my endurance has been greatly enhanced.
• Cold hands and feet are symptoms which are slow to heal; I have not noticed any great change yet.
• Same thing for the toenails.
• My skin is no longer yellowish, as a matter of fact, my wife just said I am beautiful
Dear new quitter. Don't give up. Do not let one of your crave states overcome you back into a place that you do not want to go. Do not allow one of your trigger issues stimulate you to such a degree whereby you allow your addiction to nicotine take full possession of your body once more. Remember, to smoke ONE is to smoke them all! You are so worthy of living a meaningful life friend, one that is free from a slow (or rapid) progression into a debilitating, perhaps fatal disease.
My Grandfather had this saying, it goes like this:
"We get too soon old and too late smart."
I am sixty-five years old and I say to you that it is never too late to get smart. I quit smoking, the "smartest" thing I have ever done for myself. One day at a time, Never Take Another Puff.
I wish you FREEDOM.
