Hello friends new and old. I've been gone for 9 months. And smoking heavily. I am paying the price but trying to quit again. I haven't been well. My health is deteriorating. I just had a partial hysterectomy a week and a half ago. I am also being screened for leukemia and exhibiting signs of throat cancer as well. I'm 32 years old 😞 I'm so disappointed in myself for going back after being quit for 7 months. I was feeling so good and picked it up again and here we are 9 months later. I often wonder would I be going through all this with my health right now had i not went back to smoking about a year ago? I guess i can't think about things like that. I know i can't change the past only the future. I'm praying this time i can make it. I'm going cold turkey again. It's only been 2 days and i know it's gonna get worse before it gets better. But i do know it gets better because I've done it once already. I'm so scared right now. It's hard to sleep or focus. Not having answers about my health is so terrifying. No matter what the outcome it's time that cigarettes and I break up for good!

Hi Kat, I really don’t think that the relapse had anything to do with your health problems. You have done the best you can by giving up smoking this time. Recently I was extremely ill and was so near death I could have kissed St Peter’s ass. 7 months in hospital and the doctors all told me that my chances of survival would have been zero had I still been smoking. Please be strong and don’t have another relapse. This time your quit is forever. Positive vibes coming your way.
