March 17, 201511 yr Oh Cilia, Cilia, please come back I miss your little hands. To those who have gone through a couple of allergy seasons smoke free, does it get better? Any advice? Guess I'll be switching from steam heat vaporizor to cool mist, because my bronchial tubes/chest are not feeling good. Newbies, stay with me. We don't want ANY MORE DAMAGE, RIGHT???
March 17, 201511 yr Time CRAWLS when you quit smoking. I swear this is the longest and most drawn out 4-5 months ever!!! Prior to quitting my calender pages were flipping past like those animated cartoon books. But, that's probably a very good thing because time seemed to be going too fast any way. I'm 32 and I don't want my thirties to happen without me knowing!!! Also, I did not get bronchitis this winter. Every winter when I smoke, I get it. This year, nope. And past years where I wasn't smoking - no bronchitis. One year, as a smoker, my bronchitis turned into pneumonia. Yuck. The evidence is crystal clear.
March 17, 201511 yr Author I just read a thread by someone who relapsed. What stuck out was the relapser said, "My poor lungs..." This was a really good comment because it was so graphic. Maybe instead of relapse, it should be called self-harming-by-setting-lungs-on-fire. What's so romantic about that romancing? Ugh. Also, relapser said she DIDN'T HAVE A PLAN IN PLACE...when coming up against a crisis. I don't have a plan except to right away stomp on any thoughts of smoking as the answer to anything. Am also GRATEFUL my lungs still hurt a little because I can't deny that they are in healing mode, so in a crisis, do something else, anything else BUT LEAVE THE POOR LUNGS ALONE.
March 18, 201511 yr I totally get what you are saying.. I would smoke and be wheezing...I thought who would do this?? Yes, let's leave our poor lungs alone...I'm with you on this. Hugs, Ricki
