Nice to see you here

Evelyn you got this you can get right back on the train with us and ride it out .

HI TAC welcome to the site :)

it is great and your friend is a wise one........I also see effect of smoking of my patients in the OR whether they are losing a limb due to decreased circulation or the way they wake up and we have worry more about their airway.......heres a little story about me, I had a tonsillectomy in 2009 (I was a smoker then) woke up from anesthesia still in the OR room and had 5 laryngospasms. it was scary as all hell couldnt breathe at all they used PEEP (positive-end-expiratory-pressure) they finally had to do an epi updraft I scared all the people in the OR (my coworkers) one nurse stated she hates circulating tonsillectomies now because of me (not really but sort of) guess what I still went back to smoking after that surgery, you would think that after that I would be able to quit but no I wasnt too bright just kept on going until my husbands heart stent placement prompted my and his quit. Addiction is a stupid thing and makes you make stupid decisions. SMH.

How are you doing today?

I use to think all those things and more.....couldnt do it---was too hard for me, this was a lie..........I like smoking it relieves my stress-this was a BIG lie...........eh I am going to die anyway might as well do what I want-this was a BIG stupid lie...........smoking calms me down-this was an illogical lie because nicotine "speeds" your heart up and not relaxing for your body at all, You need to wade through all the lies you are telling yourself and break through to the other side (its nice over here :) )......we all told ourselves some sort of lie to keep ourselves smoking to take the easy route but truly keeping smoking is not the easy route it is a hard route one I wouldnt wish on anyone.......only you can quit smoking for you .......it is quite honestly the best thing I have ever done for myself.

Morning :)
