|
|
One of my motivations when I first quit smoking was when my doctor told me I would soon be carrying an oxygen tank everywhere I went if I didnt quit smoking. She had told me to quit many times before but I was in total denial!! Not me!! It wouldnt happen to me. But that day I knew she was right. I could feel it. I was waking up nights having a hard time breathing!! Well... I made it!!! Im 119 DAYS quit today!! And I DID have to carry an oxygen tank anyway!! My mother in law has cancerous tumors in her lungs. I had to take her to chemotherapy yesterday. I have been taking care of her the past several days pretty much due to the lady they had sitting with her couldnt handle it. Please quitters!! Keep those quits!! I carried her oxygen and theres NO WAY Id want to carry it everywhere I went. And she is so weak now. You dont want to end up there...where she is!! It CAN happen to any of us!! Please no matter what... KEEP THOSE QUITS!!! DEB _________________

Thanks for the post, Deb. You're so right -- "There but for the grace of God, go I." Never hurts to be reminded of how important our quits are. _________________

Deb,
My main reason for quitting was because of being diagnosed with COPD. I still can appreciate the warning though because sometimes one can still forget so thank you for keeping me reminded.
