Thought I was dying!

[Nails]

After a high speed drive to our emergency hospital on Saturday night, I have decided to quit smoking after 30+ years. I’m a 47 year old woman who has smoked 20 cigarettes a day since being a teenager. On Saturday night I couldn’t breathe (triggered by a bad cold that went on my chest) and for anyone who that has happened to, will know too well how terrifying it is!! The scariest hour of my life and a weird insight into how emphysema or lung disease might look/feel. I was literally gasping for air, desperately trying to fill my lungs. I felt like I was drowning! I’m praying I’m done with smoking. I’ve gone cold turkey but have patches. I stumbled upon this fab group whilst looking for encouragement and advice online and want to hold myself accountable.

Welcome Nails to quit support. Thank you for joining our lovely community.

Here on quit support our aim is to help people be free of nicotine addiction, whether

Its through cigarettes, shisha, vaping, salts, jules, or any other method.

It sounds like you have had a nasty experience, and I for one truly know what that feels like.

Remember to drink plenty of water, and try out the breathing exercises in the pinned posts, These are found to the right or bottom of this page.

Nicotine itself is not harmful, but it is the main substance that keeps us all addicted.

Once the nicotine has left the body (usually within 3 to 4 days) we need to rid our

Bodies of the 4000+ chemicals that are still damaging our system.

If you read through the pinned posts , we have a lot of useful and informative articles

On there to help you with your quit journey.

I will assign you your achievement badge ( next to your name) I will put your quit date for 09/11/2019 if this is wrong please let me know.

Please don’t hesitate to ask , if you have a query . There is usually someone around

Who can help.

We wish you good luck with your quit journey. 😊

🌼xx

You need to decide whether you are going to brave cold turkey or make use of the patches. There's no right or wrong way of quitting,we are all different with different life styles etc.
