The Morning After

OldBones-Larry
6 5 56

She had quit smoking a month ago and decided to go to the bar with her guy.

She had a few drinks and was feeling really good.

The next thing you know, she was on a table dancing away.

She awoke the next morning with a pounding headache and no memory of what had happened.

The air smelled of stale smoke.

Here mouth felt like someone had dumped a pound of ashes in it.

She rolled to her side and saw the pack on her nightstand.

It all came back.

She had lost control of herself and her quit !!

She had smoked !!!!

As YoungAtHeart‌ says, don't chance it and drink if you are a new quitter.

Don't let this happen to you or this might be your song ....

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.
