Slip

So as I stated in an earlier post I've had asthma all of my life but only started smoking after a divorce when I was 24. I started smoking and for one reason or another my asthma lessened, and I wasn't hospitalized since I was 23. Now at 30 to improve the quality of my life (still on inhalers) I quit smoking. I went 12 days and was ok with not smoking (I still smoke a joint here and there (legal here). My asthma not only returned but after a hospital trip and feeling with this was my new normal, I gave in and had a cigerette last night...twice.

This morning other than minor mucus in my throat my breathing is back to normal and I can get back to singing (my hobby). I got lightheaded and never enjoyed the smoke as much as I would have before the 2 weeks but within 24 hours I'm back to feeling better. Not great mind you because I quit to improve this but it took the smoke to come out of the week long asthma bout. I am not planning on smoking today but it seems to have become a working part of my asthma control . I am confused. Has anybody felt this way ??

It's stress. You don't smoke you don't get nicotine and your body wants it because it's stressed out without it. It will do whatever it takes to get you to have some, once you have it you will get some peace, until next time !!.
