I really do want to

I really know I should

I know I really must

I know I really have to

Its for my kids

I cant let them down

I will give it a try

Coz i don't wanna die

But I don't really want to

And its not a good time

I'm not well at the moment

I'm far to bloody stressed

I'll do it after christmas

My new years resolution

I really will try

Coz I don't wanna die

I can't breathe

Its me I deceive

My coughing drives me mad

Panic attacks are real bad

I hoover on my bum

Getting spasms in my tum

I am going to try

Coz I don't wanna die

All that was before

I've now slammed the door

I no longer stink

And i'm looking fairly pink

I still can't run

So I now walk in the sun

I AM ALIVE

AND I WILL SURVIVE

no one believed that I could succeed

I showed them them all

Now I'm walking tall

I'm smelling real fine

My food tastes devine

Those heavy laden shackles

GONE

so to have my crackles

Told you I'd stop

Well I did stop

I have stopped

I'm feeling good

so very proud

I am so happy no longer sad

GUESS WHAT

?

?

?

?

?

?

I am no longer a smoker :)

But I am a successful :)

NON-SMOKER :)

HOWSA BOUT THAT :)

We have a poet amongst us. A big well done Jane I really enjoyed reading it. Sorry to hear your ill hope you feel better soon. I'm having a bit of a down day myself today. Can't say if it's the lupus, fibro or the copd but it's safe to say my get up has left without me. I could also be the result of having the family stay for the weekend. 6 adults and 2 little ones is a lot to look after and I'm feeling it now.

in reply tonanaber

Blimey, Nanaber! I couldn't cope with all that. You must have a big house. Cooking and washing etc. But nice that they came.

Nope annieseed, just your average 3 bed semi. The only thing extra is we converted our garage into a 4th bedroom with an en suite. So plenty room for sleeping just no room for anything else.

Morning, must admit that I did the post whilst still in bed,I don't rise that early, usually between 9-930am, showered,tidyed up a little, Daughters washer has broken, so she has asked for a early Christmas present, looked on Argo and going to order,one sounds pretty good for 169,pounds,So that's there Christmas prezzies done, will just some stocking fillers, so not been through the door and spent my money,!! The sun is shining now so will pop out and get some shopping, But you stay in, rest up, and you will feel more yourself, I will pop round on my way back for a cuppa and bring 2 vanilla slices!!! Love Heather.X

That was brilliant Longlungs, there seems to be so many budding Poets on here, every time I come onto the site someone always cheers me up with a poem. Hope you feel better soon, there are so many bugs going about at the moment. We have chickenpox and shingles going about at the moment, that's worse than a bug when you have a very low immune system like me. Stopped smoking 4 years come February, best thing I ever did. Take care. Cheryl

longlungs in reply topoppyval

Hi Cheryl blimey OReilly thats no fun at all for you !Ive never had that never want it friends have said the pain is something else,im not good with pain!I cry and all sorts.I remember in my pre natal classes long while back,all the mums were saying " naturel child birth no pain relief" sorry I put both arms saying I'll have all my pain relief and all theirs too" haha nah! Cant wait till I can say 4 years well done you Im slowly beginning to feel like a proper non -smoker.Iam so sorry to hear your suffering i really hope you get relief soon Cheryl. Janexx

poppyval profile image
poppyval in reply tolonglungs

Hi Jane, sorry you must have picked me up wrong. The chickenpox and shingles is all going on around us, and I meant with my low immune system I am having a job keeping away from the germs and trying my best not to catch it. lol I have heard shingles is an awful thing to catch. Your 4 years will soon be up, and you will feel great. Take care. Cheryl

You must be proud of yourself. Both for the poems and definately for giving up smoking. I found it very hard. Please don't try it again as it will get even harder to give it up again.

longlungs in reply toMavary

Hi Marvary we all survived the storm thank god ,it did rip the felt off my shed roof but hey luckier than some!No I'm having moments of oww sod it ! but they are moments,I think for the time being it will be a day at a time much like an alcholic does.coz one would lead to41.Iam impressed, thought I would never do it! So I do have a great big cheesey smile.:) Janexx

Mavary profile image
Mavary in reply tolonglungs

Hi Longlungs. Just remember they will always be calling you. Sometimes when you are at your lowest. You can do it. If I can you can. just think of the nasty things they do to your lungs and think of them as a dirty ash tray. I remember that smell even now and the awful taste first thing in the morning. Keep strong.

longlungs profile image
longlungs in reply toMavary

Yes when I smell my sons its just horrible.I do say if ive got this far! Iam very determined.Just pray they dont call to much? Thanks :) Janexx

Mavary profile image
Mavary in reply tolonglungs

Oh! Please don't stop them coming. You need them. Just warn them that you could get a lot worse if anyone smokes around you. I have two sons that smoke but they wouldn't think of smoking around us. I am what you call a nightmare X smoker and am always telling them to stop. It is like water off a ducks back. I only said to one of them today who is overweight that I never met my Grandmother as she died at the age of 52. I think that worried him for all of two minutes. Take care and stay strong.

longlungs profile image
longlungs in reply toMavary

haha sorry Marvary not my boys the calling of the ciggies hoping they dont call often.when my boys are here they dont smoke around me but of course they still smell very strong of smoke.Yes Im strong/!?! lol Janexx

Mavary profile image
Mavary in reply tolonglungs

Typical of me. I very often misunderstand things. Good for you! Keep it up and remember about the ash tray if you ever do feel tempted and I am sure you will. Stay strong.
