fear

[nsd_user663_14771]

woke up this morning *music plays* and before i got out of bed i started getting quite short of breath. i'd forgotten to raise the blinds before sleeping and before i quit that was always bad news. now with my lungs starting to heal it wasn't as bad, but i was hit by a new fear that said 'what if i don't make it and quit this time, smoking will make you really sick'.

half an hour later i'm feeling better and i have my new non-smoker like lungs back again - nice deep breaths!

but i have to face it, i have the beginings of very dark and scary things happening to my lungs. if i went to see a doctor about it she/he would say similarly dark and scary things to me.

i'm not brave enough for that, not even close. there is no option this time, smoking is finished now, end of.

Hiya - day 3 already - pretty good right? I would suggest you do go and see the quacks if you continue to get this shortness of breath...

Before you know it you'll be one week done

I had a similar thing happen to me before I finally quit... Felt I had cocentrate on breathing and felt like I was gasping...Put me right off my fags...but I managed to smoke through it. All the time I kept thinking this is it I've gone too far...FEAR!

I thought the same thing...I should go and see the docs but I was scared of what they might say...

I'm on week 7 now and have started running, weights and tennis...Still time for me to give Bradd Pitt a run for his money

The biggest thing I suffered from in my first week was anxiety. I knew the only answer was to stop the fags and get fit... Worked for me

Keep up the good quit week 7 feels even better than week 6.

best wishes

thanks tinks, i'll do that if it carries on

defrog, thanks for sharing that and glad to hear you're doing so well, i'll take this morning as a good omen then...

been cold turkey today as i only had a 5 hour shift, in the last half hour i started finding something funny (a typo i'd made in a document, a good one though!) and through trying to keep a straight face ended up laughing for ten minutes, tears in the eyes and all that! can that be normal? i thought i should be having a bad time, not enjoying myself! mind you if i keep that up i'll be out of a job sooner or later :rolleyes:

warning, there is a smoking scene :eek: in this link - youtube.com/watch?v=LhmnOpo...(Not working as expected?)
