It's just a word of advice for us all.
I quit smoking for 7 months cold turkey and relapsed. It was the biggest mistake of my life. I have been smoking (heavily) for a month now. And I'm right back to coughing and wheezing just like before i quit. While quit i felt so good. My wheezing and coughing completely stopped. I was a fool to think going back wouldn't affect me. I have had 2 colds and now battling bronchitis since i started smoking again. All that in just about 1 months time. I know that soon i have to try to quit again. I want to feel the freedom i felt when i was quit the easy breathing and the money i saved. Please if you are having a hard time i beg you don't light up. Stay strong and it will pass. No matter what bad thing may trigger cravings nothing is worth lighting up. I can 100% promise you that you will regret it. I don't know when i will try to quit again but i know it will be soon. My body is physically telling me that if i don't quit these things WILL kill me. I'm scared and being surrounded by smokers makes it even scarier and more difficult. I'm trying to gather the strength to try again.

Try to make a plan for your quit day.
I feel I'm about to crack 😱
How long before I start to feel 'healthy' again, without sinus and chest complaints? Am now into week 10 and still not feeling 100%?
Trying to quit on anti-psychotics
Before you reach your quit date, try to understand what part of smoking actually satisfies you....
