June 14, 201511 yr Welcome NI!!!! Nice to greet a new member. As a smoker I always got bronchitis in the winter. As a non-smoker I never got bronchitis in the winter. Simple as that. Stay here to stay healthy.
June 14, 201511 yr Author I'm so very excited to be rid of yearly bronchitis, I just have to find a balance soon and stop eating all food in site, including chocolate. I'm going to the grocery store to stock up on gum etc. today. :) Thank you for the welcome!
June 14, 201511 yr Welcome New :) Gum and chocolate is good, smoking is not. Eat all you want, fat cells are easier to shake off than cancer cells or worse, lung disease!
June 14, 201511 yr I've been quit more than three years, and I just had one of those dreams the other night. I think they happen for a few different reasons, but often they are your subconscious mind stiffening your resolve by letting you experience how horrible you would feel if you smoked. You quit when you were sick with bronchitis - I think a number of people quit when they're sick, because they feel like hell anyway and smoking makes it worse, and somehow the nicotine rush is less appealing when you're already coughing and dizzy and nauseous. But now you're starting to feel better, and you're not so focussed on your health and mortality, and smoking may feel more appealing again. You're in a danger zone, and your sleep mind is warning you. Listen to your dream. You've wanted to quit for a long time, and now you did and you already have a running start - keep running! This is totally doable, and everyone on this forum has done it. Remember how awful that dream made you feel, and then how thankful you were when you got to wake up. Not everyone gets that chance. Plus "this too shall pass"!! Hope you're feeling better :wub:
June 15, 201511 yr Author Thank-you Ria, yes feeling a little better, almost at a week in a couple of days. I miss my coffee terribly among other things but not quite ready yet.
