I quit smoking 3 packs a day cold turkey. You can quit too! Feel better! Live longer! You can do it!
The Great American Smoke Out is Wednesday, November 20. I did it and so can you!!! I was a 3 pack a day smoker and one day I decided to quit. It was actually out of necessity. I was running late for work and had about a 1.5-hour drive to Springfield IL. I was out of cigarettes and going out of my mind in panic. I didn't have time to stop for anything, cigarettes or the bathroom. For about an hour just panicking how was I going to make the drive and then when I got there how was I going to make it through the day without them? Without my friend...the cigarette. I was yelling at myself in the car how angry I was with myself for being late and putting myself in this position to be without my friend...the cigarette. At some point at about an hour in the drive, I thought this is fuc%ing crazy! Listen to yourself David, I was so pissed off all over this friend...the cigarette. This friend was killing me. I was short of breath, tired all the time and had no energy. My clothes stunk of cigarette soot. My work truck had a brownish tar on all the windows and every surface that was difficult to wash off and the truck smelled like a fermenting wet ashtray. And my loving friend...the cigarette, would one day guarantee me, that I would drown in my own brown chunky mucus or choke to death while gasping for oxygen to breathe while hooked up with tubes to an oxygen machine. I quit in that moment. My lungs grew healthy. I went on to lose over 100 pounds and run 6 marathons in 2 years after quitting smoking.
