Hey Gang,
So after about 35+ years of smoking a pack a day I am damn lucky not to have normal scarring and signs smoking on my X-rays or cat scans.Turns out to be a good dose of Pneumonia in L & R lobes. The good news is I don't have H1N1 or 9 other virus's cultures have eliminated.

They did let me out on good behavior. It is not that I choose to be good but rather have little choice. So I am now about 10 days into being a non smoker but they say it will get easier?? THANKS all Jeff C

Jeff,

you've got about 6 weeks of hell in front of you, but it's well worth it. Here's how I know; after 16 years of 2 packs a day, I quit cold on 1-1-89. Doctor's orders. I was a prick to deal with for 6 weeks, wait, make that 21 years. Ask my ex-wife.

Seriously, 21 years clean for me and my health's a lot better for it. And it will get easier for you the longer you get from that last smoke.. You'll find you don't want to be any where near someone that lights-up either.

Hang in there!

Dave

Well my last smoke was on Sept. 29 and I had a room by Oct 2. via the ER. They have me on several antibiotics, steroids and a few of unknown origin. I can only keep telling myself this joy will not last much longer.

I think the cat wants to take me out!!! The dog is not a leader and can be manipulated pretty easy and have seeen the cat workin on him. If I get wacked take a hard look at the cat!
