Poorly this Christmas

[Danbo78]

Well folks, I like to start by wishing you all a very happy Christmas, I do hope you all had lots of fun and spread the joy to all your family and friends.

I, however, have had a rough one...started a over a week ago when I caught the “flu bug” (lucky me!) then as I was fighting to eliminate this I then started to throw up and had pains in my stomach, co-incidentally whilst I was at work! So after having rested and sweat that off, just couple of days ago, the viruses wanted more of me and I now have bronchitis 🤒🤒🤒🤒🤒

So as you can see my Christmas wasn’t a great one. But....I stopped smoking on the 13th December after 6 months of determination and trying.

Cough...cough...splutter...splutter!

Hello Danbo, and welcome to Quit support. Sorry to hear you have been poorly. However quitting smoking will benefit you in the long run. You should recover from flu and chest infections quicker and hopefully not catch them as often.

Do have a look through the pinned posts for tips and information. These are to the right or the bottom of this page.

I will assign you an achievement badge (next to your name) so you can see the progress you are making.

Looking forward to supporting you. xxx

Thank you, I had looked on NHS website and bronchitis is caused by smoking and affects over 40’s (I’m 41) and I could possibly develop pneumonia....that’s only worst case scenario. I’m gonna drink fluids and rest and as I’ve gone 2 weeks no smoking now, this piece of information I just saw will encourage me to think twice never to return to the filthy habit
