By 16, I was addicted. I came down with pneumonia when I was 24 and was so ill that I was hospitalized for several weeks, didn't smoke. When I got out, I decided to just quit. Coming home to all my smokey smelling clothes was a wake up call too. I hadn't realized how much I reeked! <br /><br />I was able to quit, but it wasn't nearly as easy as your experience seems to be. I'm now 53 and been smoke free for nearly two decades. But, the truth? To this day, I have dreams where I am smoking and I love those dreams....<br /><br />Nicotine holds on tight.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05049511202014141182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965486343561766609.post-10492345145489581742011-09-29T11:56:17.473-07:002011-09-29T11:56:17.473-07:00Keep it up, dear Moannie.

Whether or not ...Congratulations on persistance!!! Whether or not you are successful in completely quitting, you haven't given up on trying!!! That's wonderful. I'm very proud for you!!<br /><br />Please, if you keep feeling ill, don't assume it's because you are trying to quit smoking. Remember the reason you decided to try to quit was you were not feeling as well as you had been. Go see a doctor and get a check-up soon. I work at a hospital, and I all too often see people who could have gotten help had they gone to see their doctor when their symptoms first began. Too many people put it off until there is nothing that can be done to cure them.

I found that several months after I'd quit smoking I developed a nagging cough. True to form, someone trotted out the typical explanation to explain the phenomenon to me. One size fits all, I guess, whether kicking the menthol, cork-tipped, or roll your own habit.

We had this when 5 of us stopped or tried to, at work. The least sucessful. our Publications Manager, lasted only 20 minutes LOL. So try to take it in little steps and not to face Mount Everest all at once. It IS possible.
