ER & Pulmonigist

Well, I saw this one coming.  Got into the ER at about 5:00 am, out about 1:00 and then went over to the pulmonigist.  Started with four nebulizer treatments, couldn't clear, 40 mg of oral steroids, waited still couldn't clear, another treatment and IV steroids, this close to getting admitted, holding my own now.

Now, this is in no way a sympathy blog, this is for anyone going through your journey, keep at it because ultimately this is what smoking does.  I despise myself for choosing to smoke again after nearly five months. And this is for the wise elders who know from what I speak of...

Ah, smoking, what a killer. Suffocating is terrifying...

With this said, I believe this morning at 9:00 am makes day 3 for me?

Night all, praying for recovery

Gone but Not Forgotten. RIP - they leave a legacy of their quit journeys behind as road maps for future members, to prevent the pitfalls, provide the tools and show the hope and possibilities for success at overcoming this addiction at any age at any stage. Quit March 16th. 52 years old, smoked 2 packs a day for 40 years, enough said. Day 124, July 18 I smoked a cigarette and continued to smoke (because there is no such thing as just one) until Sunday, November 2, 2014. April 24, 2015 I'm editing the above. Certainly did not quit back in November and I'm 53 now. Boy, time sure flies... There's nothing worse than being a smoker who wants nothing more than to quit. Okay, so now it's over a year, but I will do this starting today, August 17, 2015. Out of the darkness and into the light.... Needed to update this, quit as of September 14, 2015. Anyone contemplating losing their quit, just follow this time line, it's taken me over a year to take back my freedom when I thought it was going to be so easy to take it back before. Don't make that mistake. Wish I had a counter, but as I write this it is September 24, 2015, I'm in the baby stages of my quit. Day one again, September 28, 2015
