Your experience was very encouraging to start thinking of “quitting smoking”. But that seriously remained at the back of my mind till I discovered myself lying on a hospital bed with angiography being performed on me. Thankfully everything came fine but the docs say smoking is the biggest contributor to heart ailments. Boys of the age as low as 17-18 years are coming with their 60-70 % pipes blocked. As in my case even 3-4 cigarettes a day can contribute to high cholesterol levels and heart blockage.
It has been 7 days since I last smoked… Trying to quit, hopefully I will too.
The choice is simple Cigarette with Hospital Bed or a Healthy life.

Cheers

I quit on Mar.2,2009 -7:45am – I must admit, I still get urges – so I grab a piece of gum. I just went into the net to check out struggles that others faced during their ordeal & found your story.
It confirmed that I never want to smoke again & I too have gained a litte weight, but, for now I am going to deal only with not smoking – the nice weather is upon us, so can get back into walking & will probably lose those exter lbs. (hopefully) smoke free at last. When I am around my friends that smoke – I now know how I smelt “not great”like an old cig. butt!!!!!!!!

Demo……..a very good piece on the process of leaving smoking indeed……..but as somebody had said earlier..”Leaving smoking is no great deal….I have already left a 100 times”

Hope these eight months stretch on and on……and yes welcome to the gang of socially recluse.

Great job demo…u know what… last week at lunch at my office, we all coaxed a colleague who was onto 20 sticks a day to quit. told him to think of the money he cud save (it was well over 10k) and amount of time he cud spend wid his family if he gives up. he is doing fine so far… I really wish it keeps going that way always… i read somewhere that in one year’s time people who have quit smokin themselves start getting irritated in company of smokers, that is when they say u have actually quit and there is almost no chance of recurrence. has it happened in ur case yet or no?
