I realized that  when I had any stress in my life I ran to the cigarettes for relief now that I don't smoke  I realize that the stress in my life  is to the point  where it felt as though I was having a heartt attack..but that wasn't the case ..the sharp pain on  the left side of my chest that shot through the left arm...wow! to realize that  it is stress, anxiety or better yet a panick attack? The days of smoking I didn't pay much attention to this because as soon as I felt a little stress I would light up and viola!! It was gone (so I thought)  so now with the help of my doctor I will learn how to cope with this and some meds (temporarily) ..I find that I stress about everything, with a little touch of OCD  over simple situations...but never the less I am STILL SMOKE FREE!! Also if any one has any good suggestions  please send them to me
