What My Bad Habit Was
I Quit smoking 30 days ago. I woke up one day and told myself this is it, I am done with the nasty habit. I started working out and eventually I forgot about why I even smoked at all. With no cigs I lost all interest in alcoholic beverages as well. With the money I have saved I bought a pair of boots I have wanted for along time which were a little spendy.
My cats are no longer coughing or sneezing and I am sleeping like a rock. I thank the Lord for giving me the power to overcome a deadly habit. Cold turkey is the only way to go. My husband died 2 yrs ago from a heart attack and he smoked. He was only 59.
How I Managed to Break It
Weeks before the decision to stop I kept telling myself every time I lit up "I need to stop this nasty habit." I am 55 yrs old and watching my husband die in a hospital bed hit me like a bomb and punched a hole in my world so big I cannot describe the pain. When you think about it, cigarettes really are coffin nails! Tired of looking at beautiful men and women with glowing skin, healthy bodies and good attitudes? You know darn well cigarettes do not control their lives. A healthy lifestyle does. Boy was I ever in huge denial!
Advice
- Just do it! Educate yourself.
- Look at a healthy lung and a lung of a smoker. Look at healthy glowing skin and then look at what your face looks like now and when you die. It's not pretty.
- When you or your loved one has a heart attack and they die remember the heart muscle dies first and then you age years overnight.
- My handsome 59 yr old husband looked like he was 85 when he died.
- Make your home, clothes and yourself smell like heaven.
- Drink lots and lots of water and keep yourself busy with exercise to take your mind off smoking. It will relax you and you will sleep so much BETTER!!
- Stay away from white carbs.
