It has been 93 days since I became an ex. When I quit, I thought this would be it. Just wait it out until my body recovers. But noooo....It was more of nightnare.
First, all my body started hurt. Old injuries bothers me so much I had to take medicines for it despite it have been years that incidents happened. Then when it came to month of quit, my asthma acting up so bad that I had to see Dr. about it. She game me prescription for inhaler then tole me I should see pulmonologist within next 2 month. So I have started to walking around block a day to make my lung stronger. Unfortunately, I can't hardly walk because I have gained about 25 lb since March 2020. So with that and my weakened lung capacity makes me hard to move about. However, I persisted unsuccessfully. Another thing I have noticed is that I can't digest most of food that I have been able to eat. I have had food indigestion for so many times since I quit. Thanksgiving day, My daughter cooked Ham, instead turkey. I ate that and I was sick for next 4 days. stomach cramps and diarrhea. Then I bought tamales from our local diner, I ate that and was sick for week. Barely got better and Christmas eve, my daughter wanted to cook turkey. It was supposedly already cooked so we had to do was warm it up. 3 hours and it still was in the oven, so we took it out and cut into it, the middle of turkey was still frozen. I cut the part that I believed to be cooked and ate small portion. was fine that night. On the Christmas morning, I got up, cut the portion of cooked area and warmed inside the oven, I ate half of that but from that day, I was sick and still unable to eat anything. Finally my diarrhea stop today or may be return tomorrow.
I can't believe how one person can be so unlucky that all this happened in short span of time. Despite of all this happening the thought of smoking didn't entered to my mind. I believe most people have problem is they are not ready to quit, but forcing themselves. I think they should meditate and get ready for your mind. when your mind is ready, your mind would think 'well it was good while it lasted but I am done.'
I hope I get better soon so 7 more days is 100 days. I and my daughter will celebrate.
