Hey everybody
I am a 38 year old man and quit several months ago, after for smoking for about 23 years, only to start up again, slowly but surely, about a month ago. The one thing that continues to stress me out is that I fear the damage is already done. I continue to obsess that I already have laid the ground work for serious illness which only stresses me out which makes me want to smoke. I've been a runner for almost 15 years, even when I smoked, and even completed a marathon.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!!

I have started taking vitamens that support the healing of lungs. Mostly anti-oxidants. I went to a health food store to find out which ones would be best. They are not cheap, but I spent a lot more on smokes!!!
I too have always been athletic. I used to be a long distance runner. I love running, but I'm not capable of what I used to be able to do, especially during hot humid weather. I really hope that after some time, I will be able to do what I could before I started smoking.
