Give and get support around quitting
I, like so many others on here, have several health concerns because of my heavy smoking...I quit 3 days ago...cold turkey...Smoked for 20 years..pack a day, or more. I have had bronchities, ear infections, and the last one....strep throat, and have not felt good for 6 weeks...coughing and tired, this is why I want to stay smoke free but it is hard...I am struggling....the last time i was smoke free for ANY length of time was when I was pregnant with my son.....that was 12 years ago and I started smoking again when he was about 2 weeks old. I have never smoked in my home or car or around him but i could find any reason to go out to the garage for a few minutes, lol.
Excercise is suppose to be a big help but I cant breath well enough or feel good enough to excercise. I hope that after a week or so of not smoking..I will feel well enough to start walking....
Anyway....It is day three and I will keep coming back to this site, everyday...for support because I want to feel better.
I was just put on Advair to help with the breathing so I could start walking. You will feel better without the cigarettes and your breathing will improve. Start slow with just doing a little exercise. I take it you have had a checkup recently or at least have been to the Dr. I hope you feel better soon and you hang in there. You can do it.....I know you can!
