“What if” I was still smoking?

I have been dealing with some health issues lately and I know a lot has to do with smoking and also heredity. My cholesterol was extremely high and for the past 7 months I have been working on getting that lowered. And the last several weeks my blood pressure started to become dangerously high (208/123) was told by my physician that if I have any chest pains to get myself to the ER. Guess what? I found myself in the ER with chest pains last Monday. The good thing was I was not having a heart attack and all the doctors could tell me was at this time your heart is good but more test are needed. So now I just sit and wait for the phone calls with test dates and times. It’s a good thing I work for a cardiologist as he has been talking me through thing.
This is not what I thought I would be posting on my ONE Year anniversary smoke free. But despite all this this has been one on the best years.
This year of not smoking has not been easy but it has been easier than I thought it would be.
So in closing I would like to say a big thanks to everyone. Even though I read more than I posted I learned so much from everyone.
