I did it

[Minilove]

I decided I was not going to post a quit day, or keep starting over, because all I did was let myself down.  Finally I just did it. I was not feeling good, and told myself it is now or never. So Sunday night 8/21 I smoked my last cigarette.  I also went to my doctor the next day, and she heard a wheeze so put me on some meds, but by ThursdayI was not any better, so I was admitted for a COPD exasperation.  But what impressed me was, when they took the blood gas test, my oxygen levels were high, and carbon levels real low.  Just in 4 days!

I got out of the hospital last night. Health wise I was ready to come home...mentally not so much.  Today I got stressed out...did take a puff off a cigarette.  All it did was make me want to throw up.  It did not help with the stress. It did not change my situations at home. All it did was make me feel sick and more determined.

I did call a none smoking program and spoke for about an hour with a counselor.  That also helped. I may have slipped up...but I have not given up!  I am still a none smoker!
