Quitting cigs... again...

It's still worth it. You may have to give up drinking or smoking crack for a bit, as these trigger activities will cause the cravings to
come back. But if you can stay away from them for a week or two you should be golden. I am not a smoking finger-wagger,
but I have been off em for over a year and do not think about them anymore. BUT, I didn't really commit until I already had COPD.
I quit two years or more ago, but then picked up a little of the herb, and of course, had to buy cigs, and then HAMMERED em for about three
months before I noticed that THIS time I really couldn't breathe anymore. I think it was that 3 months that pushed me past being
a cheezy wheezy into full on Emphysema. Make no mistake, if you smoke, you WILL eventually harden your lung tissue to the point
where you can't get a proper lungful of air. Even if you never get cancer, you are going to have trouble breathing when you hit
your 40's. It is not worth it. I enjoyed my days of smoking, being cool, having something to do when bored, all of it. After sex,
after meals, waking up, before bed....the whole deal. But knowing how I would feel today, it ain't worth it. If I had to run away
from a monster to save my life, I would be dead. I used to move myself and took pride in it. If I moved from this house I live in now,
I'd have to hire movers or I would drop like a stone. No one wants to be useless. CIGS will do it. Stay off em and be happy for yourself.
