Some of you may or may nor kn ow me , but iam a former smoker & this was my quit line here . yes right here is where  I did my quit after 40 yrs of smoking , Now i come in to say how hard its not really to quit . Iam over 3 yrs now , never imiagined more then 3 days . but it is doable 🙂  Just believe &  fight it with everything you have .  Trying to breathe when your lungs are so badly damaged is much more worse then the quit it self . I no , I struggled for a long time , Then i had no choice but to get the gift of life , ( new lungs ) by 37 i had emphysema  44 was copd  and almost dead by 50  ! I got my lung transplant in june of 2012 (22 mo ago) and Iam very active with  donate life n/y n/j    I am now competing in the transplant games of america come jully ill be flying to houston Texas & spend 6 days out there 🙂  coming from someone who couldnt walk more then 3 steps  wore 02 , 24.7 has 4 kids a family  sisters friends neices nephews  Ill be doing track & feild , ok a 100 meter 200 meter a 4x100   a long jump lmao   a soft ball throw , thats should be interesting lmao  and a shot put , never heard of it but iam doin it LMAO   ill bowl  play darts and do a 5k  woot woot houston here i come 🙂  I had my story told all over to prevent smoking  i spoke a collages  & will have anotrher one by sept ( collage kids are pretty cool )  they listen & seem interested 🙂  I spoke on a staten island cable show for copd smoking & lung disease .. I did a wellness & health at giant stadium representing n.y columbia pressbytarian hosp. 🙂  yea so Iam busy and also went back to work  🙂     3 yrs ago i was dying ,, literitly  for real had 6 mo to live b4 i got my lungs , this place helped me get it all togther quit & now all good things iam so greatful for .. If i did it ,, you can do it .. There anr many oldies here  That i still hold in my heart & will do so forever . listen to them .. they are strong smart & sincere . smoking is not worth dying for ... tips .. for urges ..lemons  suck on lemons  key is take the edge off by keep as busy as possible .  run jog work out // be determined & set goals /    if you constanly fixuate on smoking you are setting yourself up to fail .. distraction my friends .. distraction .. if you follow that iam sure you will make it , if not keep trying you will never know what quit will be your last 🙂
