When Did You Know ....

4 9 119

When did you know that you absolutely had to quit smoking?

Was it when you were coughing almost constantly?

When everything you put in your mouth tasted like cardboard?

Maybe when people avoided being around you?

When you could hardly breath just sitting in your chair?

When you couldn't finish what you started because of exhaustion?

The following is when I knew that I had to quit ....

Be well and care for yourself each and every day.

Stay strong in your quit.

One step, and then another, will get you to where you want to be.

About the Author

I am a male that underwent coronary artery bypass X3 (triple) on 10/22/13 at the age of 55. I was living on about 20-30% of one coronary artery and my left heart output was only 20% to 25%. I spent a week in the hospital after surgery and went home. Then had to go back a day later for another week because I had pneumonia. Finally a few days because of a slight arythmia. All told it has been about 2 1/2 weeks. I am past the cravings by now and only have the urges to contend with. I really don't suggest that anyone quits smoking using this technique though. I'll have to carry the scars from that day for the rest of my life. The large one down the center of my chest, and the ones from several "silent" infarctions. I came that close to the next world. Never again will I subject my body to that (at one point in my life I was smoking 5 packs of cigarillos a day). I now have to say N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) every day of my life.
